I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults who suffer from stress reactions, mood disorders, anxiety, anger and aggression problems, opposition, defiance, child maltreatment, family disruption and loss, ADHD, learning issues, and grief. I have received specialized training in utilizing trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy which has proven efficacious in treating posttraumatic stress disorder, complicated bereavement, depression, anxiety, externalizing behaviors, sexualized behaviors, feelings of shame, and mistrust. I also have an interest in working with bereaved children and family members who have lost loved ones through sudden or traumatic experiences. My approach to treatment is eclectic and based on congruence and developing an adaptive relationship with clients. Often this takes time with clients who feel misunderstood. Empathy, patience, and consistency help to build a therapeutic relationship. I utilize empirically supported treatments to meet the unique needs of my clients. My training in graduate school focused heavily on clinical experiences of assessment and therapy. My clinical experiences have occurred in various settings including group homes, schools, residential treatment, and private practice. This has significantly aided my understanding of the various system and task demands my clients have to negotiate.
