I believe each person has the resiliency and innate strength to heal from traumas in their life journey. My education, work experience and trainings have focused on helping individuals who have experienced trauma in many forms. I've work with families and individuals from birth through adulthood. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in the LGBTQIA+ community. My background working with children and caregivers in the hospital setting has given me a unique opportunity to work with various medical conditions and extensive healthcare trauma.
My approach to treatment is multifaceted. I strive to empower my client to lead their treatment journey. Each person has unique talents and interests so I utilize play, expressive art, sand, narrative therapy along with traditional "talk therapy". I'm here to support your journey.
As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered. If we encounter problems outside my areas of expertise, I can provide seamless referrals, including testing and medication management, to get you the needed help.
