About
I specialize in working with children and teens ages 2-18 for defiance, trauma, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, attachment issues, child abuse, grief and loss, and life adjustments. I provide highly effective, research based counseling in a warm and inviting environment. I offer practical strategies and activities to help children and families meet their goals and improve their lives. Modalities used include Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Triple P Parenting, Play Therapy, and Therapeutic Art Activities.
As a parent I understand the worries and frustrations often associated with the enormous job of parenting. Parent participation is encouraged as this can result in better long term outcomes. I always provide explanations and education regarding how and why the strategies and activities offered work so well.
The office is located near the cross streets of Soquel Drive and Park Avenue in Soquel near AJ's Market Cheveron. There is plenty of free parking with no time restrictions. I am currently offering in person sessions with masks required and telehealth / zoom sessions are optional as well. For more info on me and my services please click on the "WEBSITE" tab.
