Therapist Overview
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2010. Prior to this I worked at Children’s Services, a domestic violence shelter, child advocacy center, etc. I have dealt with abuse/ sex abuse, neglect, hurt, loss, etc. I worked in both the social service side and juvenile delinquent side with kids/ teens ages 0-19 mostly, and their parents, relatives, foster families, etc. I have dealt a lot with kids in the educational system and know the resources to link them to if needed. I believe that one of the most important needs is trusting the counselor. I have dealt with a lot of trauma in clients over the years and practice trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy. This is a therapy that helps people with clinical posttraumatic stress and can be used for all ages. I have also helped parents find resources for kids with learning disabilities.
