Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth and adults to process their past traumas and adverse childhood experiences. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events. That is why in therapy we will work at your pace to identify the impact that your trauma has had on your daily functioning and relationships. You will learn skills that help you express and regulate your feelings, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships.
Parents are never given a handbook on how to parent their child. So what do you do when they act out, have a tantrum, or struggle emotionally? As a certified PCIT clinician and trainer, I can help you learn positive parenting skills to help enhance your parent-child relationship and provide appropriate discipline strategies to manage difficult behaviors.
I believe that finding a therapist who is the "right fit" is key to a successful therapeutic process. My treatment approach is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I will challenge you in therapy, and use specifically tailored strategies to create a safe non-judgmental atmosphere. Let me be your ally and support you in becoming the best version of yourself!
