About My Clients

I have spent the last four years working in a variety of child/adolescence and family clients to help with a variety of situations including Depression, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and systemic based issues. I am now looking forwards to working with more adult clients as well as supporting children and family.

My Background and Approach

I have worked for the past four years supporting children, adolescent, and family based clients with issues. Now, I look forwards to including adults with my treatment. I currently start by reviewing with clients and ensuring that we are both on the same page on what the main goals are and how the treatment may look. I then work on teaching skills from CBT and DBT to prepare for changes while using either a more narrative and reflective approach or a more movement/play/experiential based style depending on the person and their style.
