My work has strongly focused on at-risk children, adolescents, and families and the use of tested and effective treatments. I have had many years of experience with children and youth at risk due to problem behaviors and ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, delinquency, and other risks out of children's control, such as poverty, parental corrections involvement, and foster care. I most typically work directly with parents (and other adults) who are experiencing difficulties with parenting strategies, stress and anxiety, depression, and/or alcohol and substance use.

While working with children and adolescents is one of my specializations, I am also passionate about working with adults who are ready to embark on the therapeutic journey of self-exploration and growth.
Life is full of ups, downs, and all the plateaus in between. I believe my role as a counselor is to walk alongside you during the moments of pain and self-doubt, as well as the moments of celebration and joy. You are the expert of your own life experience, but we can all use a little extra support from time to time...and that is where I come in. As a multiculturally competent counselor, I value building relationships with clients from all walks of life. My hope is to create a space of safety and warmth where you can express yourself and be who you truly are.

The (ACE's) Adverse Childhood Experiences study provides evidence of long-term health effects from exposure to trauma as a young child.
I believe that each individual has strength and ability to meet their therapeutic goals. I have 10+ years experience working with adults and children who’ve experienced early childhood trauma. I use an attachment focus understanding that trauma in the early years has a life-long impact on health and well-being. Experience and training include play therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, family therapy, and one on one counseling. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, EMDR, motivational interviewing and therapeutic techniques to promote healing and progress towards client driven goals.

Mental and behavioral health are as important as physical health, especially for children and teens. More than ever our children need resiliency and good, adaptive coping strategies as well as access to prompt, high-quality treatment for common conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. To increase access to services, I will now offer cognitive-behavioral therapy groups for children with depression and anxiety and parent groups for families impacted by ADHD. Groups size will be kept small. The CBT treatment will follow an established approach for 10 weeks (in person).
