I have extensive training and experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My background has allowed me to work with a diverse range of needs, but traumatic stress is my primary focus. When working with children, I implement a child-centered and family-focused approach to help the child heal but also to support caregivers and to help the family grow closer together through the healing process. I also enjoy working with couples who want to learn together and grow closer. I am affirmative of LGBTQ and cultural minority clients. I fully embrace the opportunity to contribute towards societal change that is long overdue.
I am trained in the following therapy models: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am familiar with the system that serves children who have experienced abuse. I am also able to address problematic sexual behaviors in children.
I seek to first empower my clients to harness their inherent strengths so they can grow to empower themselves. I view each client as the expert on their own life and seek to work alongside them to design, implement and constantly evaluate the pathway to follow for treatment. I aim to provide a safe, loving space that is empty of judgment and full of hope.
