I love working with children, teens and caregivers to improve the quality of life for all members of the family system. As part of my client centered approach, I do ask that clients and caregivers are active participants in the therapeutic process. As an active participant, you and your child will be able to try various methods to improve and develop the life that you wish to have. I value a holistic approach to therapy which includes examination of the person and how they respond to their behaviors, beliefs, and the community around them by incorporating talk therapy and some expressive therapeutic techniques.

I believe that clients first need to experience a sense of trust and security before sharing can evolve into the dynamic process which enables the best opportunity for a positive change. Working with me in a therapeutic process feels like having a peaceful dialogue with someone who is empathic, understanding, and nonjudgmental. I delicately approach clients’ suffering while striving to understand the language of suffering they use to express their psychological pain.
