I am able to integrate a number of therapeutic interventions with an overall focus on client-centered and child-centered therapy.
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages including geriatrics. The majority of my experience has been with children and adolescents with emotional disorders, behavioral disorders, autism, and PANS/ PANDAS. I have experience working with individuals with traumatic stress. I am effective at helping individuals cope with major and minor life stresses. I perform diagnostic evaluations for individuals of all ages including cognitive, emotional, and personality assessment that can be used to inform therapeutic intervention and gain resources outside of therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals of diverse backgrounds.

Traumatic events are painful and often result in wounds that can't be seen. I believe that understanding trauma and how trauma has affected you is the first step in healing from trauma. You don’t have to do this alone. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults – those who have experienced trauma and those who may be struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression. In addition, I also work with families experiencing separation or divorce. My goal is to help families effectively communicate while you try to figure out the emotional, physical, and custodial stressors that often accompany a divorce.

I also have experience working with survivors of sexual violence, neglect, and attachement issues. I also enjoy working with caregivers to help them feel empowered in their parenting role.

An awakening is emerging as you seek professional counseling. By noticing the personal imbalance within you or with someone you care about, you are paying attention to your deeper intuition. Perhaps the incongruities have to do with depression; anxiety; relationship dissonances; family of origin woundedness; separation and grief; parenting challenges; trauma-related experiences; or wonderment about your current being.
