Welcome! Congratulations to taking the first step towards a more healthy you! Hablo español. Seeking help for mental health is a huge step, and I hope to be able to be alongside you and/or your loved ones on the journey to self-love and fulfillment in every aspect of life. Are you finding it hard to quiet those pesky thoughts scrambling around your head? Do simple daily tasks suddenly seem impossible to complete? Is your child acting out at home or school? Allow me to help you learn more about what's causing these difficulties, and provide you with the insight and tools you need to overcome.
I am trained in CBT and am certified nationally to utilize TF-CBT approaches to treatment. I am also trained in play therapy and art therapy techniques and love to empower kids and teens to express themselves in creative ways. I understand the complexity of family therapy and am competent in my ability to address family conflict safely and effectively.
Everyone’s life story and circumstance is unique, but you don’t have to navigate the struggles alone. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a phone consult to see if I can be the right fit for you on your own journey.
