My Approach
While I am passionate about helping any population learn, grow and experience their best therapeutic environment possible, my true passion is working with children and adolescents. I am also passionate about the family unit and how communication plays in the family to solve any obstacles that are in the way of running as smoothly as possible, with each voice being heard and validated.
As an adult who had a tumultuous childhood, I understand the power of play and imagination as a way to help children through their trauma and all those big feelings felt by little kids. I have been told that I have a warm, nurturing nature that children are drawn to and I like to use that to facilitate trust with the younger population.
