Strengths
Having worked in a school setting during the pandemic, I have learned how to engage children effectively using virtual sessions. The honesty and spontaneity of my students has taught me how to adjust my plan, and respond to my client's needs.
Ideal clients
I bring over 20 years of experience providing care in diverse settings including psychiatric, medical and school environments. I feel honored to help children navigate school settings as these environments have become more stressful and complex. Children with learning and social issues including those who present with attention concerns can succeed !
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)
I'm passionate about helping children, families and individuals navigate emotional challenges, life transitions and the impact of medical conditions. I take time to truly understand each unique individual's needs. Utilizing a CBT frame work has enabled me to empower the client to identify goals and understand growth towards those and blocks to achieving the goal.
Compassion-Focused
I have supported individuals experiencing grief utilizing compassion focused therapy . This has allowed me to support individuals and families, assisting them by providing a safe space to allow them to grieve. I have been able to help clients find that place to start re-building a life that can become meaningful and joyful again.
