With a specialty in Child and Adolescent Counseling I use specific techniques such as play therapy, artistic expression, and family therapy to help young clients cope with various issues.
I have been working as a clinical mental health therapist for more than 20 years. I have a specialty degree in Child and Adolescent Counseling and enjoy working with adults as well. I believe in building positive coping skills, resiliency, and a positive outlook on life by having clients be an active part of their treatment. Using behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and play therapy techniques (for children) are some of the ways I can help clients achieve their goals. For my adult clients, I help identify areas where change has been difficult. From there we build confidence and reachable goals to make positive behavioral changes.
