My blended background in Psychology and Education has enhanced my passion & desire to help children, adolescents, adults & families achieve healthy functioning in all areas of their lives. I believe the promotion of child wellness & growth is built upon the foundation of familial support and the development of a strong sense of self. My therapeutic style focuses on identifying patterns of behavior, helping to establish and develop supportive relationships, reducing symptoms of anxiety/distress & promoting healthy self-esteem. I develop interventions to meet the specific needs and goals of each client and family.
I tailor my 'toolbox' to meet the needs of clients developmentally & emotionally, through an empathetic, person-centered & strengths-based perspective. I work alongside you and your family utilizing play, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy & Positive Psychology, as we work together to identify appropriate coping skills, alleviate areas of concern & achieve therapeutic goals.
I have been fortunate in my ability to connect with clients and meet them where they are, as they are. I seek to ensure that my clients feel safe & supported in order achieve the goals set forth. I strive to create an effective, welcoming , comfortable & compassionate therapeutic experience.
