I love working with children and supporting them in discovering who they are, finding their voice and expressing themselves. I use a variety of interventions when working with children and families. I primarily engage children in play therapy as play is the primary language of children and an essential part of development. Additionally, I use a variety of techniques and interventions to help children share experiences such as art, books, strength based interventions, motivational interviewing, and collaborative problem solving. It is my desire and goal to create a space in which the youth feels safe, seen and heard to share their thoughts, feelings and concerns.

I believe that healing from trauma occurs within connection and relationships. In my work with clients, I strive to create safe and collaborative partnerships in which clients are the experts in their own lives, communication is clear, the process is transparent, and we work together towards your goals. I believe that you already possess inherent strengths that we will use as building blocks in our work together, and that it takes bravery and courage to take steps towards change. I work with children, adolescents, families, and adults addressing a variety of concerns including attachment, parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, and issues related to foster care, permanency, and adoption. Some of the modalities I use in my work include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and play therapy.

My personal philosophy is that each child is precious and unique and has the capacity to express their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions through play. I have a deep passion for working with children and families and supporting them as they navigate different issues they encounter. The primary modalities I use are child centered play therapy, collaborative problem solving, motivational interviewing, and trust-based relationship intervention. I believe that play is a child’s first language and that they have the capacity to process, learn and be empowered through play. There are different ways to engage with children which include but are not limited to sand tray, art, books, and toys which can all be used by the child to express themselves. I operate from a person-in-environment and family-systems approach. It is my goal to foster an environment where children feel empowered to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences while feeling seen, heard, and understood.

As a therapist, I like to work with people and help talk through what brings them to therapy. I work through a person-centered approach with a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) model, building skills to learn to cope with stressors and help understand emotions. I believe that the best therapeutic experience is when someone feels comfortable in the space. I aim for holding a space in which people feel like they can open up with no pressure or fear of judgment.
