I have experience working with children as young as four years old, adolescents, adults, couples, and families and have a strong tie to the systems dynamic in my clinical work. I work with clients experiencing a wide variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relational problems, social isolation and bullying, family and parent-child conflict, school concerns, and a multitude of other presenting issues. I work from a compassionate, strengths-based approach and promote positive, healthy change through self-advocacy. Working from a systemic perspective with individuals, couples, and families allows me to assist my clients in actualizing the change they wish to see in their lives. In addition, I promote the process of change through differentiation of self and gaining an understanding of how individuals work and function within a system. I recently underwent a training in the Certificate Program in Traumatic Stress Studies through the Trauma Center at JRI and have also received training to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I recently attended the Childhood Trauma Symposium to increase my efforts in being an effective trauma-informed clinician.
As a marriage and family therapist, I utilize systems thinking to aid my client in an exploration of how their relationships with others impact their ability to function and thrive. I work with individuals, couples and families and have a great deal of experience in working with children and adolescents. My therapeutic approaches include Family Systems, CBT, Solution-Focused, Couples Therapy, Attachment, Relational Therapy, Play Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Care. I am intentional in meeting my clients where they are at in their lives and providing the most effective clinical interventions.
The process of change is not easy, but having the right therapist as your advocate is a wonderful place to start. I believe that a strong, empathetic therapeutic relationship is the foundation for building trust and I strive to create such relationships with all of my clients.
