About My Clients
I work with children and adolescents experiencing social, emotional, and behavioral challenges while taking a strength-based and mindfulness approach to help them achieve their goals, advocate for themselves, and attain personal growth that they are striving for. My treatment approach is individualized to provide clients with care and support to find resolutions to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues to support healthy child and adolescent development.
My Background and Approach
My approach is to serve clients through holistic and innovative services that foster hope and recovery through evidenced-based treatments such as CBT, TF-CBT, and play therapy. I draw from a variety of techniques and methodologies to incorporate what is most helpful to each client. I have received clinical training at the University of Washington’s Haring Center, an inclusive early education center as well as the Academy for Precision Learning, a school that provides one on one service for children who have learning disabilities and developmental delays. There I provided applied behavior analysis, an evidence-based mental health prevention and treatment, to young children. In doing so, I was also able to provide care-giver support to build positive parent-child relationships. Additionally, I garnered several years of experience working as a behavior technician in community mental health implementing emotion focused therapy to adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a mental health counselor associate, I will strive to understand her client’s culture and perception, to identify smarter ways to engage with them in order to build the positive coping skills and resilience they desire. With compassion and understanding, I am devoted to my clients to help them effectively navigate adversity to promote well-being that is authentic and reliable.
