Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families. I also conduct psychological, educational and psychoeducational assessments. My areas of expertise include trauma, depression, anxiety, childhood behavior disorders and providing parenting support. I have extensive training and experience working with children and adolescents presenting with a wide range of emotional, developmental, social and educational challenges. I have worked with individuals and families coping with issues related to grief and loss, trauma (violence in the home and community), PTSD symptoms, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, serious mental illness, teen pregnancy and sexuality/sexual health. I am dedicated to helping children and their families relate better with each other and reach their fullest potential at home and school.
