About My Clients
I work with children ages 3 and up. I am passionate about helping children and adolescents because I feel that its an age group that needs it the most. Young children sometimes need the assistance of a therapist to navigate life's scary moments. I work with them to educate them and support them while equipping them (and their parents) with tools that will allow them to manage many of life's challenges.
My Background and Approach
My Philosophy on Children’s Mental Health… Just as plants need nutrient rich soil, water, and sunlight to grow, children also need the right environment (soil), proper nutrition (water), and nurturing (sunlight) from the adults in their lives in order to grow and flourish. As a therapist, my goal is to provide caregivers with the right support and tools to ensure that their children are getting all the essential requirements that it takes for them to grow up into healthy regulated adults. I also believe that it's important for children to receive therapeutic intervention following a traumatic event, in order to decrease the chances that it will negatively impact them later on down the line. Educational Background... I obtained my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and certificate in Play Therapy from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. During my graduate experience I interned at an elementary schools in the Salisbury and Charlotte area.
