I work alongside children (5 years and older), adolescents, young adults, and adults as they reflect, grow, and change. 

I take a person-centered approach, which means the session can be as structured or unstructured as it needs to be in order to make progress toward your goals. I aim to provide trauma-informed and culturally responsive care.

For structured, we can engage in an evidenced-based therapy (like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or Parent Management Training). 

For unstructured, we can focus on processing through talk or play whatever you have for our space for that day.

The format of therapy can change during the course of treatment, adapting to your needs at the time. I am there to support you through your therapy journey.

The aim of family therapy is to work toward what is best for the family system on the whole- not just one individual. I work with families to assess their needs, enhance communication to better hear the other, and grow and develop together.

Working with children and adolescents often (not all the times) means working with families. The family system often needs to change to support the changes and growth the young person is making.

I often provide supplemental family therapy, family information sessions, or parent coaching to further enhance these changes. 

There is absolutely no guidebook to being a parent. It is a job that we sign up for (and sometimes do not sign up for), but that we get zero training and guidance on. Often, we are met with judgement and shame. As a result, we are left with feeling like we are failing at this thing that is a big part of our identity.
This is especially so if your child is experiencing struggles with their mental health. Parent coaching can be what you need it to be. 

It can be a space to: 

• Obtain education on your child's developmental and mental health needs

• Develop skills of co-regulation and how to support your child's needs

• Learning skills to support your child's development and mental health

• Develop developmentally appropriate boundaries, structure, and rules for the household

• Reflect on your values 

• Understand how the way you were parenting impacts you today

• Gain a sense of intention with your interactions with your family

• A judgement-free space to talk about the stress of parenting
