About My Clients

Are you struggling to manage the difficult and complex role of parenthood? Is your child exhibiting difficult behavior that is negatively impacting their and your family’s day to day life? Do you feel like you are unsure of how to best support your child? Is your child or adolescent experiencing barriers to leading a happy, healthy life? I can provide you and your family with the evidence based tools and skills necessary to be the best version of yourself and allow your family to thrive!

My Background and Approach

In addition to being a licensed counselor, I also hold the certification of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. This additional certification allows me the unique perspective of practicing from a science-based behavioral lens and blending two professional fields to provide support to clients and their family. I have 8 years of experience working in various settings including school, hospital, and clinic. These experiences allow me to have a well-rounded perspective when working with my clients, I practices from an eclectic perspective including client-centered, solution focused, behavioral, and evidence-based. I prioritize the use of collaboration, emphasizing the importance of building strong relationships with both the child and family to generalize skills outside of the therapeutic environment. Further, I work diligently with schools, physicians and other members of the child’s community to provide consistency of support.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that rapport and the therapeutic relationship is critical in order to be successful with providing support to a client and family. I thrive on incorporating creative, unique, and idiosyncratic interventions to make the therapeutic process meaningful for the individual client and/or family. Through compassion, empathy, and understanding, I will be able to help your child and family be the best version of themselves and thrive!
