Education & Experience

My goal is to help teach children, adolescents and their families skills and coping strategies to deal with the obstacles they are facing in life. I specialize in children ages 5-18, but help individuals of all ages. I strive to increase individuals' satisfaction with life by helping them be successful in overcoming the pain and difficulties they are experiencing. I am highly trained and experienced in Trauma Focused Cognitve Behavior Therapy (TFCBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). These therapies help victims of traumatic events (such as abuse, divorce, or loss) to process their emotions and deal with the scars and pain of those events. My extensive experience working in a residential facility with children and adolescents gives me special skills and insights to help your struggling child with appropriate behaviors and boundaries. Parenting can be difficult and I am here as an additional support and resource for both parents and children.
