Hi there! At the the core of great therapy is the therapeutic relationship between the client and their therapist. I believe very strongly in the positive changes that can occur as a result of therapy. We all have various emotional needs that can be addressed and benefit from the therapeutic process. I am passionate about serving children, adolescents, adults and families. By partnering with my clients, I see tremendous growth towards their goals and improvement in general well being. When working with children and teens, I take a systems approach and work closely with caregivers to provide the most comprehensive care possible.
I have worked with children as an elementary school counselor and Certified Play Therapist for the past 19 years. I subsequently worked as a mental health therapist in a pediatric office and in a private practice setting. I have extensive experience in working with issues such as trauma, behavioral issues, family transitions, anxiety and depression.
You have taken the first, very important step in your therapy journey! It takes a lot of courage and confidence to begin the process of finding a therapist that meets your unique needs. Please reach out to me so that we can establish your therapeutic needs and begin working on meeting the personal and/or familial goals that you wish to address in therapy.
