I pride myself in my work with children and adolescents. I have experience in behavior management and have a solution focused approach. I enjoy working with adults just as much. Still determined to focus on solutions and coping, a lot of my initial work with clients includes grounding techniques. I feel it is very important for clients to have these skills, not just in general, but before we move into any more difficult background work. I also have knowledge and experience working with clients who have experienced trauma. In recent years, much development has occurred in this area, providing many opportunities for clients to move through such difficult situations.
