As a therapist, one of the essential parts of my work is to provide hope that there is an opportunity for change in everyone's life through positive relationships. I strive to build therapeutic relationships in a safe space for the clients I work with to promote growth and healing. Each child deserves the opportunity to process their challenging experiences in their own unique way, whether through play or verbalizing their experiences, in an empathetic and supportive space.
I have learned through social work that each family and child have strengths that have helped them function and cope with their life experiences. I strive to identify these strengths and methods of coping for each family and child while also building on and teaching new skills to improve a child's functioning in their relationships and environments.
