I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a focus on complex trauma, PTSD, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, emotional neglect/emotional abuse, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and substance use. As a DIR Practitioner, I work with neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan, focusing on regulation, engagement, and self-awareness through developmental, individual differences, and relationship-based lenses.
I use an emotion-focused, person-centered approach focused on developing a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate relationship built on trust, humor, curiosity, and authenticity. With children, I utilize play based therapy to help them process their life experiences to gain a better perspective of their issues while in a safe, supportive environment.
