Individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults

As an integrative therapist, I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. I believe in personalizing treatment to each individual using a client-centered, collaborative approach. I will meet you wherever you are in your process and provide you with guidance as we identify your goals, harness your existing strengths, and build self-awareness. I incorporate body-centered approaches to help you regulate your emotions and nervous system as we process through your life experiences. I balance being a compassionate, genuine listener with offering practical resources for managing distress.

In working with children, I use play and the therapeutic relationship to provide a safe environment in which my clients can experience unconditional acceptance, and process their inner experiences and feelings. Developmentally, children cannot verbally process their thoughts and emotions as effectively as adults; their natural language is play, and through play-based interventions, they can learn how to express themselves, work through psychological distress, and develop coping strategies and creative problem-solving skills. I also believe that caregivers and family members play a vital role in the therapeutic process. I incorporate parent consultation sessions into the treatment process to help parents learn how to support their child at home and implement the strategies learned in therapy sessions.
