LCSW, 8 years of experience
Welcome! Congratulations on taking the courageous first step of seeking out a therapist. It is an act of bravery and courage to explore what is impacting you or your child. Contacting a therapist can feel intimidating and overwhelming, but I hope you will take a minute (and maybe a few deep breaths) to see how I can help. I specialize in treating children, teens, and young adults. I have been working in the mental health field for over 7 years, including over 4 years in a residential treatment setting treating children struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, and PTSD, as well as other diagnoses. I utilize TF-CBT, mindfulness, and other modalities in my practice. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your journey!
The first session typically focuses on building rapport and completing a biopsychosocial assessment. Goals are also identified in the first session.
As a therapist trained in trauma-focused CBT, I recognize that stressful experiences impact each individual differently, emerging in emotional and physical health, relationships, and sense of self and safety. I aim to create genuine therapeutic alliances with my clients and families.
Clients with a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress disorder
I utilize trauma-informed practices to help clients process their experiences, feel safe in their body and environment, and build resilience.
