About My Clients
I work with parents of all kinds - bio parents, single parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, grandparents, legal guardians - to help support you and the children you are raising in your home! I have specialized training in teens who struggle with self-harming behaviors, suicidality, mood disorders, anger outbursts, and impulsive behaviors. I also work with children as young as three-year-old who have ADHD, ODD, attachment disorders, mood disorders, anger outbursts, and tantrums.
My Background and Approach
I have over 17 years experience working with children, teens, adults and parents, in a variety of settings including group homes, children's shelters, juvenile centers, and hospitalization programs. I have personally experienced being a single mom, a foster parent and a homeschool mom. I work from a variety of approaches including person-centered, Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My approach focuses on behavior problems, healthy attachments, emotional regulation and healthy family units.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I personally come from a Christian perspective and optionally offer Christian counseling to my clients. However, I am supportive and validating of all of my client's belief systems and work to help families reach goals based on their personally-held values and morals.
