Saturdays appointments available! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with children, adolescents, and families. In addition, I work with individual adults, couples, and co-parenting. I provide a safe, calm, friendly, empathetic & down to earth environment for my clients. I have extensive experience and specialize in working with young children through adolescents and their families around issues related to social, behavioral, interpersonal and academic concerns. Throughout my career, I have provided supervision to other professionals in all aspects of providing psychotherapy for children and adolescents; from case conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment.
Working with young children, I use play therapy, sand tray & art therapy. These activities allow children to express their thoughts and feelings, when they don't have the words to communicate what is upsetting them. I create a trusting and non-judgmental atmosphere which promotes exploration of thoughts and feelings.
I have a special passion, working with infant, toddlers, and preschool aged children. I started my career as an early childhood educator and gain a strong background with early childhood developmental issues. I offer school consultation to support staff and offer guidance in dealing with children struggling with developmental issues.
