Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I have had over 10 years experience working with children and adults with significant trauma history and find this type of work particularly rewarding. I have endeavored to learn the best therapeutic modalities to address the concerns and needs of these clients. One of the best therapeutic tools to treat trauma victims has been shown to be Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This therapeutic approach requires an advanced training and specialized skills which I have obtained.

Groups I Work With

I am a licensed clinical social worker as well as a child mental health specialist and have been working with children and their families for over 10 years. I specialize in play therapy, with a sub-specialty in trauma work and anxiety. In addition I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder in individual psychotherapy.

Family and couples work can be particularly rewarding. This therapeutic process enhances the sense of connectedness within families, assists them in learning to communicate better, negotiate differences, and work through difficult times.

My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help individuals effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach. With compassion, understanding and humor I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths, learn new skills and attain the personal and professional growth they are committed to accomplishing.
