We will work to understand how your brain has interpreted traumatic experiences and how your inner child is currently triggered by those experiences.
I am passionate about helping children, teenagers and adults process and heal from difficult life experiences. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist, and for several years I have been working with people of all ages who have experienced trauma. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and help children process and express themselves through developmentally appropriate therapeutic play. With children, I utilize the evidenced-based practice of Play Therapy along with EMDR Therapy. I know how devastating the experience of trauma can be to individuals and their families, and I can help navigate the process of healing.

I'm happy to talk over the phone or via text to discuss if I might be the right fit for your child or family.
I work with children, teens, and families to support them as a family and strengthen their connections with each other. I see children and teens for individual counseling, group counseling, and also provide family counseling. Growing up is hard and so is parenting! We all have times when we could use extra support. I specialize in blended families and co-parenting support for all types of families.

Although I work with individuals across the life span, my specialty is in working with children and adolescents.
Problems do not occur in a vacuum. Individual problems often have symptoms that affect the entire family system. I work with children, adolescents, couples, and families experiencing whatever problems of the moment. During our work together, we will explore the impact of the issue and join together to generate solutions that not only benefit the people in the room, but may also positively influence future generations.

My greatest strength as a practitioner is my understanding of the human experience. I understand the uniqueness of the client/practitioner relationship, while recognizing the importance of seeing the client as a human first. I like to give my client as much autonomy as possible throughout the course of their treatment. I understand that most things in life are beyond our control, and I feel it’s important for clients who are experiencing some form of distress to feel they have some degree of control in their life.

is a multidisciplinary group practice that offers specialized mental health counseling services for children (ages 5-17), adults, couples, families, christian counseling services, and life coaching services.
I believe that in order for individuals to experience an extraordinary life (a life filled with peace, love, joy, and purpose) they must learn how to heal, protect, and strengthen all three parts of themselves - the soul (mind, will, & emotions), the body, and the spirit. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy with Christian, biblical principles to address a complexity of issues within an individual, family, couple, or group that may be preventing them from experiencing physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness. Also, my husband, Adewale Disu, a Certified Life Coach, provides life coaching services to men.

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

With children I often see behavior issues relating to their life stressors as well as issues related to impulse control or anger management.
I have extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma and addictions and work with all ages. I am trained in EMDR and use that technique with both children and adults if appropriate. My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

I’m certified in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is currently the primary treatment I utilize in my practice.
How does trauma impact systems? This is the question that guides my practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Trauma is like an invasive plant, weaving its way throughout multiple parts of our lives. Untreated trauma can feel like it’s blocking all light. I’ve been working in the field of trauma since 2012. My work has taken me to Haiti, where I volunteered with an orphanage, helping staff become more trauma-informed. I’ve worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds, including children and adults who are survivors of sexual abuse.
