I have always had a heart for people and supporting them with big emotions!
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, behavioral issues and family conflict can all become manageable.
I am honored to join individuals and families on their journey of growth and healing and feel empowered to move forward with peace. I recognize how unique each person is and aim to help you work with your strengths.
I aim to work with each individual where they are, using tools that fit for them. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT and mindfulness, with a focus on solutions and strengths.
As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT™) I include play and art in my sessions with youth, along with cognitive-behavioral therapy, DBT and mindfulness, with a focus on solutions and strengths. To understand more about play therapy and what to expect in a play therapy session, see these resources from the Association for Play Therapy.
Are you looking for support to with your child's negative behavior? I offer evidence-based parent behavior management training (PC-CARES) which includes guided coaching and tools proven to improve children's behaviors (decrease externalizing behaviors; increase positive, adaptive behaviors) and to reduce stress and difficulties within the caregiver-child relationship.
I graduated from Brigham Young University (a religious institution) and Howard University (a Historically Black College) and value including faith in the therapeutic process if you desire. I am a bilingual, Spanish speaker. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Consultation: Please email, text or direct message any questions or to set up a free 15 minute consultation.
What to expect
Upon setting an appointment, I will email a link to an online portal for paperwork (which must be completed prior to the first appointment, either returned via email or brought in person). You will receive text reminders of appointments 48 hours prior to the appointments.
For youth, the first appointment includes both parents and child. Future sessions with children often include meeting with a parent briefly at the beginning or end of the session. Future sessions with teens often include meeting with a parent every few sessions.
