About My Clients
I specialize in working with children between the ages of 3 and 12, teenagers, and their families. I have training and experience working with children with mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral issues, and trauma. Connecting and building trust with my clients is a part of my job I most enjoy. I provide consultation for the caretakers so we can explore what improvements we can make in the living space to navigate the emotional/communication difficulties.
My Background and Approach
Life can be scary and lonely no matter how much support you receive from your family and friends. I enjoy my work of providing a safe place for you to help them explore their emotions and thoughts freely and learn to express them in a healthy way. I am very client-centered, which means that I will meet you where you are and go at your pace. I will listen to your needs and goals and create a plan together. My goal for you is to have at least 3 effective tools to navigate through difficult moments and build emotional agility (just like building physical agility!) to get through future challenges.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can grow and heal when they are given a safe place to listen to themselves. We often pay attention to our surroundings and miss what we truly need/want. We all have learned unhealthy behaviors/habits throughout our life, and sometimes they are not helping us navigate what we are currently going through or even cause more problems. The world around us changes, and our coping strategies need upgrades, too. Getting into therapy or meeting a new therapist can be scary. However, it is okay if you don't tell me everything from the start. It is okay if you don't like me at first. It is okay for you to tell me if you don't want to share something or if something I said doesn't sit right with you. It is okay for you to tell me what you want, or that you don't know what you want. We will start from there.
