My client focus are children and adolescents. I started working with children and adolescents over 10 years ago, caring for their physical health in hospitals. After a few years, I decided to transition from physical health to mental health and have been working with children and adolescents for over 2 years in individual and group counseling and in the public school system. I've worked with children dealing with behavioral concerns in the school, home, and community. Social emotional learning, career exploration, experiential learning, and small groups have been my areas of specialty.
I specialize in working with adolescents and their families to promote social emotional wellbeing. I also work with adults wishing to learn coping skills to build resilience when facing personal struggles, including grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and life changes. I use a person-centered approach and tailor my treatment to each individual client.
Seeking guidance is the first step to change, and my mission is to provide each client with the support, tools and the safe space to express themselves. Individual and group counseling offer opportunities for goal setting and changes in attitude and provide consistent and structured accountability. Contact me to get started today!
