Whatever issue is bringing you to therapy, I believe you also bring with your own unique strengths and abilities. My approach as a therapist is to first focus on developing a relationship built upon mutual respect that allows you to feel safe, supported, and heard. In sessions, my goal is to empower you to take the lead and choose the direction therapy will take. Therapy is a place where you can explore both your strengths and challenges, ask questions, and take risks.

My therapy approach is client-centered, trauma informed, and strengths based. Most importantly, my approach is tailored to your unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Children learn best when they are able to play in the world they inhabit. Play can take many forms, including creative arts and crafts, games, music, imaginative play, and storytelling. Through play children can process significant events, their thoughts and feelings about themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. They can learn to harness their strengths to help them grow, and learn new skills to help them navigate life's messes.

Parents and caregivers are a significant part of their child's world, and that's why I ask that you participate in the therapy process. From the very first session, I welcome parents to share their insights, set goals, and identify their needs in supporting their child's growth.
