Since 2014 I've worked with military-connected children in school settings in the US, Germany and Japan.
Children have to deal with many stressors in today's world. This is especially true of children in military families. Frequent moves, leaving old friends, making new friends, parent's deployments, adjusting to new places and schools, peer pressure and finding and maintaining emotional resilience are challenges many children must deal with. With military children, these events may occur over and over. Family dynamics change as a parent deploys then returns home to reintegrate back into the family. I can help children navigate these challenges and thrive.

I treat families, children, adolescents, and adults using a bio-psycho-social perspective with the application of a variety of treatment strategies that will best fit the client's needs.
As a Clinician who has been working with children and families for over fifteen years, I have extensive experience with children from diverse backgrounds, including those who have experienced trauma, those with behavioral challenges, and those who are struggling with mental health issues. Through these experiences, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of each child and the importance of providing them with individualized care. By offering children a space to share their thoughts and feelings and process their experiences, we can help them develop the emotional intelligence and resilience they need to thrive.

Life can be challenging at times. Some situations in life can cause you to feel anxious, depressed, or maybe worried about someone in your family who is dealing with emotional distress. When transitioning through different phases in your life such as a new job, relocating, parenting, divorce, aging, loss, or retirement you may experience some significant challenges. Any of these situations in life may bring you to seek someone to help you gain perspective and coping skills for navigating through.
