Therapist Overview
Are you a parent that has noticed your child is stuck, and having a difficult time managing social situations, school or general day-to-day activities? Are you an adult feeling overwhelmed and confused by the pressures of life? No matter one’s age we can all experience feeling not quite like ourselves, and have a tough time making sense of what to do next. My focus is to help children, adolescents, and adults understand their anxiety, worries and stress, and collaboratively rebuild confidence and enhance problem-solving skills to help get unstuck. Using a strengths-based approach, together we will explore problems that are causing stress and frustration, and figure out how to move forward. I pull from cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness techniques to creatively and compassionately help promote change and growth. Additionally, I have extensive training in trauma recovery for children and adults. I am a certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapist.
