Hello! I'm a mental health professional who works with clients across all age groups, specializing in 11 -18 yo including parenting and family dynamics. I focus on empathetic care and cognitive learning. I view each client as an individual being with their own drives, while also recognizing they are part of a family and/or community. I understand that all facets of life impact a child’s emotional and physical wellbeing, including but not limited to: school, social life, societal change, and family change. This understanding informs my interactions in therapy.
My focus as a social worker involves connections – I work with clients and their families to understand how the child and the environment interact with each other. I then work therapeutically to find the best fit solution and support for each situation and/or problem that arises. I primarily use CBT and Trauma-Informed therapy.
I make jokes, but at the end of the day, I'm here to help. In addition to individual practice, I do parent/family work and run therapeutic Dungeons and Dragons groups for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and young adults. Please let me know if those sound interesting! I am available both in person and virtually.
