I am certified in
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Trained
I specialize in working with children and teens who have experienced highly stressful situations such as abuse, bullying, loss of a loved one, domestic violence, community violence and struggles with anxiety and depression. In addition to working individually with children and teens, I often incorporate family sessions and/or one on one caregiver sessions to help facilitate growth and change. My goal is to strengthen an individual's confidence while enhancing the family bond. I am a parent and can understand the struggles children and teens are up against in today's world. My approach to therapy is getting to know you and your child/teen as a person, learning about your strengths and struggles, and the goals you want to achieve, then tailoring a therapeutic plan that will support you in accomplishing your goals.

Therapy with me looks like: My style is tailored to the individual I am working with and the goals that they are working on. I like to include things that are of interest to the youth I am working with and find creative ways to use them in the therapeutic process such as games, music and art.
