My communication style

I believe it is important to listen first, understand, and then provide feedback or suggestions. My office is a non-judgmental, safe place to reflect on your experiences in a new way. Kids often communicate best through play, art, games, and stories, so that we will use those in the process as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started with challenges I felt in school growing up. I worked with youth in group homes and in schools before attending graduate school. I continue to enjoy witnessing healing from trauma, finding a place in school, understanding challenges and overcoming them and the resilience in people to adapt and heal.

My goals for you

I see my role as a guide in the therapy process. Together, we will set goals that work for you and your family and adjust them as needed. I will set goals with kids as we work 1:1, as well as with parents, so they can support their children at home.

Our first session

The first few sessions are a chance for us to get to know one another. It is perfectly normal to feel nervous; therapy is a process. Depending on age, I may meet with kids 1:1 and then parents to gather information, but everyone will be aware of what is happening. After the first few sessions, we will have goals to begin working towards.
