Hello and Congratulations on taking the first step to finding your wellness! If you are looking for a Social Worker/Therapist that specializes in children/youth/young adults and families you have come to the right profile. How can I help? The pandemic has created much hardship on families, and mental health struggles are real. Whether you are a caregiver or an individual, it is ok to ask for help. If you need help please reach out for support.
I have experience with ages 4 - 40yrs and have worked with families for over a decade… I enjoy helping children/youth/young adults facing life transitions, anxiety, and family relationships. My approach with kids is to make therapy fun; it does not need to be viewed as "work". Thus, incorporating games and activities into sessions is key.
My approach is rooted from a genuine and caring place; it is not my place to make judgments about your life, choices and what brings you to therapy. My position of privilege allows me to offer support and guidance to help you get where you are striving to be. I look forward to meeting your family on this journey. Let's find your wellness, together!
