I specialize in trauma focused care and solution focused.
It can be difficult to open up and talk about your life stressors to someone you don’t know. Sometimes we can feel unheard or alone and just need someone who can be a helping, nonjudgmental, and listening ear. The hardest part can be finding the words to express ourselves and process what can feel like a jumbled mess and you just need someone to help put the scattered puzzle pieces together to create a beautiful picture. Aristotle said it best, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” I can help with building coping skills, work on effective communication, self-expression, processing trauma/grief, and mindfulness.

Children or teens battling adoption-related attachment difficulties or school avoidance face significant emotional challenges. Managing these difficulties requires a nuanced approach. Abandonment fears and difficulty forming secure relationships cripples a child’s social development, while school avoidance disrupts a child's academics and social-emotional well-being. Many families come to me feeling stuck and unable to move forward due to heightened stress related to these issues. I have years of experience working with children, teens and families struggling with adoption-related attachment concerns or school avoidance issues.

I believe that each client has unique concerns and issues that should be focused upon one at a time. My role is to help you explore your concerns/issues and build new realities based upon your strengths. I view counseling as a collaborative process whereby the achievement of mutually defined counseling goals is accomplished through commitment and practice. Counseling can help you gain personal insight and lead you to better understanding of yourself and others. As with any intervention, there are both benefits and risk, as often progress is gradual. Your active involvement is essential to gain maximum benefits from your sessions.
