Areas of Focus: Couples, Adolescents, and Families For many years, I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, couples, and families by providing both individual and family therapy. I work to provide a safe place of hope and healing for those struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression as well as disconnect in relationships with others. Together, we maximize and build upon strengths to create skills needed to have a healthy relationship with self and others. In addition, I am passionate about providing support to those who seek conflict resolution and crisis stabilization. I have worked with individuals re-entering the community after incarceration as well as adolescents who are at risk of out of home placement and are seeking encouragement, hope and guidance on rebuilding relationships. I use strength-based cognitive-behavioral approaches with spiritual values to honor your journey. |
