When you are worried that your child is not at their best and may be suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety or behavioral problems, it can be difficult to know what to do. Making the decision to put your child in therapy can be a difficult one that comes along with fear of judgement, failure and anxiety. At the same time, we want what is best for our children and we want them to grow and succeed in life. It is my goal to assist children and families to be healthy, happy and thriving.

At VCATTRC we provide neurocognitive and brain based treatment methodologies for substance abuse and psychological disorders. We believe that there is a strong correlation between a healthy brain and a person’s mental, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. Mental behavioral disorders such as anxiety, depression, and addiction, have been linked to serious behavioral and cognitive dysfunctions in adults with long history of addictive behavior. Thus, treating such disorders and related co-occurring disorders is in need of a proper and specialized multidimensional assessment, evaluation, and neurocognitive treatment plan.

I believe that everyone has the potential for self-growth and positive change is most reachable with accountability in an unconditional supportive environment. I utilize strength-based treatment, such as building one's "toolbox" or set of coping, assertiveness, and communication skills, and incorporate outside supports to enhance the therapeutic process. With children, I utilize a directive play method and also feel it's critical for parents to be involved in the therapeutic process through family sessions. With teens or adults, I utilize a solution-focused style and cognitive- behavioral techniques.
