Let's Connect (301) 900-5320
I am passionate about helping children and young adults thrive. My goal is to help children learn to adapt to their environment and develop positive views of themselves. When working with families, my goal is to help explore barriers to effective parenting in order to help children and their caregivers maintain a positive attachment despite unexpected mental health challenges.
My approach to treatment is integrative; I utilize multiple theories to understand individuals as a whole. The approach I choose depends on the presenting issues and the individual's unique history.
I rely heavily on relationship building to help individuals gain insight and develop tools for relating to others effectively. I focus on identifying and addressing the barriers that hinder satisfying relationships. This relational approach is reflected in the therapeutic alliance itself, where the therapist-client relationship becomes a mirror.
