I serve children and adults who are feeling frustrated or weighed down by hard times in life and who want to feel like themselves again. I believe that we all have strengths to rely on and that none of us are “broken”. We can work together to face whatever challenges are in your path, and we can find moments of joy along the way.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with extensive trauma therapy experience.
Therapy is more than venting or talking about your feelings. Therapy provides a specific time and place to dig into whatever is really bothering you, learn skills to deal with stress, and maybe even grow closer to the people you love most.
For children: Caregivers play a huge role in making therapy successful. Depending on the child’s age, parents or guardians are included in child sessions at the beginning or end of each session, or may even stay in the whole session, sometimes! Caregivers must remain onsite during sessions.
It’s normal and okay to feel nervous about starting therapy! You set the pace. I will push just enough for therapy to be helpful without overwhelming you. My hope is that you will leave sessions feeling encouraged, proud of your hard work, and equipped for your day-to-day life.
