My strength and passion in counseling lay in child and adolescent therapy working on body image issues, eating disorders, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral issues. I have experience in working collaboratively with clients, their medication management team, parents, teachers, dietitians, and pediatricians to ensure the circle of care is complete and my clients have the support of their community in their treatment journey. I am a Registered Play therapist. My specialties lie in Eating Disorders, Body Image, and Self-esteem. I have been trained primarily in direct approaches (CBT, DBT) but will use indirect approaches depending on what my clients need. I use humor and meeting the client where they are in my treatment to create an environment of acceptance while pushing for change towards a life worth living.
