I specialize in working with children aged 3-18 and their families, addressing a range of challenges including effects of childhood neglect or trauma, parental separation, problem behaviors, ADHD, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in attachment theory, and I utilize a person-centered methodology to ensure that each client receives an individualized experience tailored to their unique needs. I strive to maintain client autonomy and promote a fluid and collaborative approach, because everyone deserves a say in their treatment. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic techniques such as play therapy, art therapy, mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients feel comfortable expressing their feelings and being vulnerable, in whatever way feels right for them. As a parent, I bring a personal understanding of the challenges and rewards of parenting and family dynamics. My commitment to authenticity, vulnerability, and growth informs my practice and allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I believe that through authenticity and genuine connection, we can foster meaningful growth and healing.
