Do you feel like you are stuck on the same wheel of stress, having difficulty processing overwhelming thoughts/feelings, and do not feel heard or understood by your natural supports with friends and family? I have nearly 20 years of experience working primarily with children in foster care, biological parents, foster parents, relative placements, and adoptive parents within the child welfare system. I provide individual and family therapy to children ages 0-17 and adults 18+. My primary focus is treating trauma, depression, and anxiety. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR basic level 1 and 2 trained) , Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, play therapy techniques, grief/loss through artwork, adoption competency trained (completion in Jan 2025). I offer a warm approach of openness, listening, validating, and understanding your feelings. I am consistent, reliable, and provide a non-judgmental approach to the therapeutic process.
