About My Clients

I have experience working in a variety of settings that includes day treatment, in home, school based and outpatient clinics. I specialize in working with children as young as 4 through the age of 20. I have a lot of passion helping young children and their families process through, behavioral concerns, attachment issues, emotional disturbances, school concerns, parent child dynamics, divorce, self-worth, suicidal ideations, and trauma.

My Background and Approach

My hope is to create a space where you and/or your child feels supported and safe. I will integrate techniques from theraplay, CPP (child parent psychotherapy), circle of security, emotion focused, solution focused and cognitive behavior therapy to provide the best and most appropriate person-centered care for you, your child and/or your family. It is important to me to create a partnering relationship with parents/caregivers. My goal is to work with you to develop a plan and best therapeutic approach for you and your family. I know starting therapy can be scary, but if you are willing to start your journey, I would be honored to walk it with you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone experiences big emotions. These emotions can have a significant impact on the way we think and behave. It can be hard to communicate, conceptualize and navigate why we feel the way we do. I believe that process is even harder for children and adolescents to understand. I am extremely passionate about helping you and your child understand how your experience creates big emotions that can be difficult to cope with and communicate. I believe working together is a vital part in this process. I will communicate with caregivers, schools and other medical professionals to provide the best and most appropriate care for you and your family. Starting therapy can be difficult and scary, but if you are willing to start your journey, I am absolutely willing to walk it with you!
