I have experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 3 through 22) in a variety of settings such as pediatric primary care clinics, community mental health outpatient programs, schools, and juvenile detention halls.
I use evidence-based practices (i.e. Parent Management Training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to address diverse issues that youth and families face. I have a specialty helping parents address problematic behaviors in both young children and adolescents, such as temper tantrums or breaking curfew.

Calming music and sounds of a gentle water feature as you enter create a low-stress environment decreasing anxiety, especially for children.
As a psychologist, I find it most important to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment, where children, adolescents and adults feel comfortable and understood. I often work closely with parents and children, teaching "tools" that help families function better. These include respectful communication, anger management, and how to deal with excess anxiety or depression. I believe the past affects our present, and our thoughts affect our feelings and actions. I provide the skills that allow clients of any age to confidently move forward to a happier, healthier place.

I look at the developmental stages that a child missed due to trauma or loss.
The "language of children is play." I use expressive therapies like play,drama,sand,and art to help children process their problems and find answers. When a child plays out a solution to a problem he/she has the unique ability to actually experience success in the moment. I have taken extensive training to learn how to help children play out their problems. I am one of a very few Registered Play Therapist Supervisors in the state of Arizona.
