About me
I am an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is dedicated to helping children, teens and young adults cope with anxiety, depression, and anger.
I have extensive knowledge and training in working with neurodivergent populations, children, teens, and young adults. My main priority is to establish a secure therapeutic relationship and offer a safe space in where you can feel welcomed enough to explore a wide range of emotions. Whether you are feeling anxious, stressed, sad, angry, frustrated or simply feeling “stuck”, I am here to help. I am committed to assist and guide you into reaching your full potential through evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Art therapy, Play therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Strength-based Solution Focused and much more.
I believe the biggest and most important step for change is reaching out for help. I will assist you in identify triggers, label feelings and emotions, help you process unhealed traumatic experiences and provide you with psychoeducation.
