I am a practicing licensed Mental Health Counselor, Clinical/Reflective Supervisor, Early Childhood Education Coach, and Parenting Facilitator with expertise in infant and early childhood mental health and development. I provide trauma-focused treatment utilizing Child-Parent Psychotherapy and TF-CBT (certified). I am a Qualified Supervisor in the State of Florida for mental health counseling interns and clinical social work interns. Additionally, I am a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor and provide breastfeeding support for new mothers. I am endorsed with the Florida Association Infant Mental Health: IMH-Mentor Clinical.
I help support recovery from trauma and loss, improve affect regulation and behavior challenges to promote the return of a healthy developmental trajectory for the child. As part of this work, I utilize tools for evaluating developmental, sensory, emotional, and behavioral needs. I also help support pre-school teachers with strategies for classroom behavior.
I have a collaborative approach to intervention that is infused with genuine concern for others, and respect of cultural norms and values in order to provide diversity-infomred, culturally attuned services. My diversity-informed practice strives to use language in ways that inclusively supports all children and families, caregivers, and communities.
