When working with individuals and families, I believe in a collaborative process of discovery in a place where clients feel safe and heard. As a therapist, educator and parent, I recognize the unique challenges and strengths of each individual. My goal is to have each client experience non judgemental acceptance and unconditional positive regard. Together we will create the foundation for developing concrete problem-solving and coping skills. We will achieve this by identifying and maximizing individual strengths.

 

It is important to me to meet each person where they are and I use an eclectic mix of modalities to best serve the particular needs of a client. This allows me to tailor my approach to best suit your unique needs and goals. I will help you to recognize the importance of self-care and how to incorporate it into your daily life.

 

I specialize in meeting the needs of children and supporting parents. Through my work in bereavement and special education, I have developed a sensitivity to grieving and loss, as manifested in many ways. When working with someone grieving a loved one, I focus on where they are in their grief journey and moving forward, with less pain. When working with families of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities, my focus is always on acceptance, inclusion and advocacy.
