I specialize in treating children that are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. My focus is to help facilitate them in their symptoms and problems that are commonly associated with ADHD such as hyperactivity, impulivity, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and focus issues.

I specialize in treating adolescents and teenagers by making their sessions engaging and meeting them where that are at. My goal is to help them express how they feel in a way that only they can understand and being confident in that. Alot of the time, adolescents can not verbalize how they feel when they are struggling emotionally because they are so focused on what others think of them. My goal is to help them discover what they like about themselves and to develop leadership qualities.

I specialize in treating the family as a whole and working with family dynamics to help facilitate in developing new ways to communicate and interact with eachother and eliminate old ways that the family is use to interacting with eachother that was causing stress and conflict.

I often utilize evidenced based treatment modalities and interventions such as the Gottmam therapy approach to facilitate families in building a stronger bond/ trust and communication.

I utilize alot of CBT to help facilitate my clients in being more aware of how their thoughts effects their feelings/ emotions and behaviors. CBT helps individuals to to stop and think about their consequences instead of reacting off of impulse.

Play is not just fun, it is a way of life for kids! Children hold onto stress and anxiety just like adults, they just communicate it differently. In the play room a child a can display how they are feeling and what is going on in their world by acting it out with toys. I can see if a child is scared or anxious about something from the behavior they display in th play room to the choice in toys they choose to play with and how they are playing with the toy.
