I have eleven years’ experience working with children, adolescents and adults in individual, group and family settings.
I believe each client is an individual, created by a loving God, with individual needs and responses. With respect to your unique beliefs, temperament, learning style, strengths, and cultural history, I use an eclectic approach using primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (trauma focused). I use play therapy when working with children because play is the medium for expressing feelings and exploring relationships. I believe in a partnership between client and therapist where we collaborate.

I have worked in the Mental Health/Social work field over 19 years, serving adults, children and families.
Everyone thinks you have it all together but in reality, you’re exhausted. Life is weighing you down and you desire peace & balance within but it seems unobtainable. The fear of judgment forces you to suppress your feelings. It seems like there's no one you can trust and feel vulnerable with and share your deepest thoughts and fears out loud. You manage to push through every day and find yourself feeling tired, alone, and frustrated because no one understands and shows up for you when you need it the most. It's time for a change, but figuring out where to start is a challenge for you.

I look forward to helping you or your child work through the every day struggles and sometimes overwhelming struggles of everyday life. I approach counseling from a holistic perspective and feel the child will benefit more from counseling if the family unit is healthy.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Mount Airy, NC provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Mount Airy build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
