My goal is to foster resilience, the ability to recover from adversity, within the individuals and families that I work with throughout the course of the therapeutic relationship. During our work together I utilize an integrative, evidenced-based approach which encompasses Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness, and Eco-Systemic Family (ESFT) therapies. I provide a safe, supportive, and culturally competent environment for my clients to explore, heal from, and overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, unhealthy communication patterns, challenging behaviors, social skills deficits, and other behavioral, social, emotional and developmental challenges.
My personal experiences as a wife, and mother of three children (a teen, a pre-teen, and a toddler), my professional experiences as an PA Dual Certified Educator, and training and work practicing Counseling Psychology as a Masters Level Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Licensed Behavior Specialist shape my work with clients. All of these pieces of my personal and professional journey help create a unique therapeutic perspective, and strengthen my ability to successfully provide mental health care to adults, adolescents, children, and families during their healing process.
