Therapist Overview
“I believe that therapy is a place where a child or adolescent should feel heard, accepted and safe. Using ones strengths and interests, treatment is focused on not changing who you are but learning how to navigate through difficult situations that may cause challenges at school, with friends and at home with family. My goal is in helping one to understand what is causing distress and enhance ones ability to manage strong emotions and build self efficacy through assertive communication, coping, problem solving and social skills. Therapy is not a quick fix and takes effort from the therapist, child/adolescent and parents to make changes in the choices, reactions, lifestyles and the expectations we have for ourselves and others. I am driven by my passion to help others learn and grow by making sure that children and families are treated fairly, with respect, dignity. My strong desire for social justice guides my clinical practice when working with children and adolescents.
