Therapist Overview
I have over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families. I use an integrative approach in working with children, using a variety of therapeutic methods that are developmentally age appropriate and child-centered. I strive to understand the child or adolescent’s individual needs and seek to develop a trusting relationship in a safe environment that allows her clients to freely and safely express themselves. I understand that when a child is struggling everyone in the family is affected and work with parents to better understand their children and identify ways to help the family system work better for everyone. I have focused much of my career on working with children who have experienced issues such as emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, self-injury, dissociation, eating concerns, trauma, and loss issues. Together with the family, I will work to develop an individual treatment plan with the goal of helping each child meet his or her potential
