I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 7 years of experience working as a family therapist and parenting coach. I have worked with children, teens, and adults in support of their coping skills as they try to adjust to various stressors relevant to their life span stage; whether that is academic stressors, work stressors, parent-child relationship conflict, and/or stressors related to family relocation.
My counseling style is engaging and interactive. I believe it is my job to show you the benefits of therapy through education on the process, but then I allow the client to lead the way through the 'content' of stressors and begin to take steps towards goals entirely from the client's perspective. I believe that psychoeducation around school systems and academic performance with parents can go a long way in improving the parent-child relationship and I like to remain open to collaboration with family members to support this progress.
If you are worried about taking the first step towards seeking outside support, don't! I can show you the ropes and help you expectations around therapy so that the experience is personalized and unique to fit you.
I look forward to working with you!
