I have over a decade of working in a variety of settings, including clinics, schools, home based, and in the community. I have extensive experience working with individuals, adolescents, children and families who desire to enrich their lives through the personal relationships they have with themselves and others. My specialties include working with children under 5, young children with complex trauma, parenting support, and social skills building. I recognize that it is difficult to seek help for yourself or your family and I applaud you in taking the first step.
Children experience stress for various reasons that result in them feeling confused or unsafe. My goal is to strengthen the bond between you and your child, to not only support short term changes in behavior, but also the long term patterns that will positively affect your relationship throughout your lives.
Instead of providing therapy in an office, I come to your home. I find this method to be beneficial because it allows me to see you in your most comfortable environment. I can also observe familial interactions and patterns of behavior that are not often present in an office setting.
