I have over 15 years of experience working with families of children that were subjected to neglect and abuse; separating and divorcing families; adolescents with behavioral issues; and individuals dealing with substance use issues. I can help you resolve issues such as anxiety, crisis intervention, depression, family issues, sexual abuse, trauma, child abuse/neglect, peer issues, self-esteem, promotion of child and adolescent connection in their families, and behavioral management within home, school or the community.
I specialize in treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Motivational Interviewing (MI), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Multisystemic Family Therapy (MFT), Reunification Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy (SFT).
My focus is to provide a safe, confidential, supportive, compassionate and balanced experience to individuals, couples, and families.
