Great to meet you!

I have been working as a therapist since 2008. I am very client-focused, allowing each child/youth I work with to guide treatment. I encourage parents to be active in the treatment process. I try my best to make therapy never feel like "therapy".

My approach to therapy

I offer art materials, games, fidgits, and toys to be used during sessions. My patients guide how the session is structured and what we are doing. It is my goal to use their strengths and interests to help them reach their personal therapy goals.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, I would like the family to be present to help provide information about the child/youth, their treatment needs, and the child's strengths and interests. After that, the sessions are guided by the child's needs.
