My approach to therapy is person-centered and filled with empathy and understanding. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment to share your thoughts and concerns. I utilize a number of approaches including CBT, play therapy, motivational interviewing, parent coaching and mindfulness practices. I am always eager to expand on my knowledge and stay current on updates within the mental health field. I want to partner with you on this journey to creating a happier and healthier life.
My experience encompasses a variety of different areas, including school-based mental health services, outpatient therapy, telehealth and in-home services. I work primarily with children 12 years and under but have a history treating adolescents, adults, and senior citizens.
We can work together to improve effective communication, develop healthy coping skills and increase personal strengths. I am familiar with trauma and behavioral challenges in young children. I believe in collaborating with parents and teachers to help them learn the tools to improve relationships and nurture the development of young children.
