Areas of Expertise
Psychotherapy
I have expertise in working with perinatal mental health, managing anxiety, grief, life transitions, family discord, stress, school issues, and depression. I also have experience in working with Autism, ADHD and other behavioral problems.
I am also a Catholic Christian Therapist, and upon your request, I can integrate spiritual support into our work.
Consultations and Workshops
I have experience providing consultation to other providers, school faculty and staff, church ministers and at the workplace. I have also provided grief support to different school communities. I also have experience providing psychoeducational workshops for the community, including parent groups, steps on managing stress, understanding the adolescent, self-care, managing grief, and more.
My Approach
As mentioned, I utilize an integrative approach and tailor my work to each client’s unique story. My goal is to really meet the person where they are at and build upon the strengths they already have. I use both a skill building and processing approach. I aim to establish a collaborative therapy space where the client can voice what is helpful to them. I understand that some sessions a person might just need to process a stressful event and not focus on other goals, and that is okay.
​
When working with adolescents, I work collaboratively with parents and their adolescent in order to maintain and strengthen the family unit. I also tailor my work with adolescents to meet their needs and interests, using different forms of expression (art, writing, games, etc).
​
When working with young adults, I work together with the client to establish their goals and build upon their current strengths as they continue to develop their identity and independence.
I am also a Catholic Christian Therapist, and upon your request, I can integrate spiritual support into our work.
