I love working with children ages 8+, teens and their parents to achieve an outcome that is personal to each individual. Most of my clients are individuals dealing with past or present trauma, chronic pain, ADHD, or family changes like death or divorce. One of my strengths is creating a supportive environment for parents and children as they work through challenges together. I strive to build and maintain a therapeutic relationship that is genuine and authentic. By building this relationship and understanding you, I am able to better empathize, and teach healthy tools I myself have used to overcome loss and grief in my own life. I am qualified to use EMDR and trained specifically in utilizing EMDR to help clients overcome chronic pain. As a seasoned therapist, I provide individuals with tools to help you through life’s toughest problems and losses. My favorite modalities include CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, play and art therapy, attachment theory and mindfulness. When working with clients, my main focus is the relationship. In getting to know you, my hope is to connect with how your everyday activities relate to your growth and help you find the root of your challenges. I can help you find relief from past painful events and would love to have the chance to be part of your journey.
