Are you looking for a one size fits all model? If you are, we are not the therapists for you. Root to Recovery LLC is a group practice with over 13 years' experience working with
children
, teens and adults. Every family and individual story is unique. A one size fits all model does not work which is why we use person centered, trauma informed, approaches such as MI, CBT, ACT, narrative and talk therapies. Our therapeutic approach is empathetic, and client driven.

Parent support is an integral part of my work and is fundamental to any
child
's treatment.
Children
and teenagers are more overwhelmed today than ever. The daily challenges they face can be highly stressful and can lead to significant impairments in self-esteem, family relationships, school functioning, friendships, and other important areas of life. My ultimate goals as a therapist are to help young people find good life balance and develop a sense of peace within themselves. I enjoy providing a space where individuals and families can safely work through difficult situations, while learning to feel good about themselves, acquire problem-solving skills, maximize their natural strengths, and utilize the supports they have in their lives.

My time in Special Education led me to my passion of working with
children
, adolescents, and their family's.
**Teletherapy secure video sessions available** Finding a therapist can be challenging. It may feel overwhelming to take the initial steps to begin counseling and search for someone who is the right fit for your unique personality. I emphasize the importance of a positive therapeutic relationship where collaboration assists you in getting you to where you want to be. Many people have asked me how I can do such a difficult job. I see my “job” as a gift. It is truly special when people allow me to be apart of their lives and can be vulnerable with me as we walk together in the healing process, whatever that may look like for them.

If this resonates with you & your
child
, my goal will be to help you to better manage these really tough behaviors & help you both grow to enjoy one another's company more fully through the use of PCIT (Parent
Child
Interaction Therapy) and/or CPP (
Child
Parent Psychotherapy).
"It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, & to make your Happiness a priority. It's necessary." So often we put off the pursuit of therapy because of our busy schedules. If you, you & your partner and/or you & your
child
know that the time has come to care for yourselves, I'd be happy to support your doing so while working around school/work schedules, rush hour traffic, and after school activities. Like all of us, life and how I approach it shifted when the pandemic occurred. One positive takeaway for me has been being able to be a part of life-changing therapy in a way I hadn’t yet experienced, Telehealth.

I also enjoy working with
children
!.
So often we may find ourselves caught in patterns of busying, avoiding, and distraction only to find ourselves anxious, down, exhausted, and stuck. Individual therapy is carved out time for yourself where you can explore values and aspirations, notice habitual patterns, create space for healing, design new thoughts and attitudes, cultivate self-compassion, and access your own wisdom and strength that resides in you. I use a multifaceted approach that promotes a sense of curiosity and self-awareness. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and body and mindfulness-based models.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am passionate about the work I do with individuals and families within the home, school, and community. My counseling approach is educational and supportive. I aim to help young clients and their families utilize their resources and skills to overcome challenges. My goal in therapy is to educate throughout the process of therapy and offer support to overcome obstacles. I aim to teach long-term coping skills, build insight, motivate self-learning, and encourage independence. Thankfully, there are "tools" available to help us redirect our attention, anxieties, and strengths in appropriate ways.
