Hello, thank you for stopping by!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Therapist, LCSW, Addiction Treatment, and EMDR / Play Therapy
My belief is that when you build a strong alliance with your therapist, you create a really positive experience for the therapeutic process. I strive to create a safe positive place for children and adolescents to share their thoughts and feelings and learn new ways to work with conflict and setbacks they might be facing right now. Adolescents are having a hard time with all of the social distancing requirements and remote learning this often leads to anxiety, depression, and substance use. which then results in not completing school work. This is a hard time for families and it truly does affect the whole family. I find that working with the parents of my clients forms a therapeutic alliance for the family who are seeking that extra level of support to help their child get back on track!
