About Me​

I am currently the Clinical Director and Group Facilitator at Teen, Tween, and Child Counseling & Consulting. I have experience supporting families, children, teens, and individuals on their journey towards wholeness with diverse challenges.

​

Each person is created with a different set of skills and abilities that may not

be accepted in today's culture as normative. I have over 20 years of experience, including 10 years of clinical support, working with children and their families, building a coalition with families and children who present challenges within their home and community.​ These challenges consist of major depressive disorder, developmental and behavioral childhood/adolescent issues, students in need of academic support, foster care, adoption, childhood grief and trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, family issues, substance abuse, school suspensions, and more.

​

Our youth are not “bad”; they are navigating significant challenges in today’s world, much like many adults who are also working to make sense of complex and overwhelming realities. I have witnessed meaningful change in children and adolescents who were once unfairly labeled in ways that followed them from elementary school and beyond. The approaches used in both individual counseling sessions and group work are rooted in strategies that have consistently supported growth, reduced harmful behaviors, and strengthened emotional regulation in youth over time. Through my work in community mental health and school-based counseling, I have developed clinical and practical interventions designed to support lasting change by meeting each child where they are and building on their existing strengths.​

For Parents & Guardians​

Thank you for recognizing your child's current need for therapeutic support. The past four years have been particularly challenging for our children, and for some families, these difficulties have persisted longer or even predated the pandemic. We are committed to partnering with you and your family as we explore alternative solutions to address present negative behaviors. It’s important to remember that the interventions learned in a group setting are most effective when consistently practiced.

 

For Child, Tween or Teen​

Our counseling services are designed with you in mind, offering both individual and group counseling in a creative, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment. Through individual counseling, youth receive personalized, one-on-one support to build coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and navigate challenges at home, school, and in their communities. Group counseling provides an energetic, supportive space to connect with peers, practice communication and problem-solving skills, and build positive relationships with parents, teachers, and other trusted adults.

 

Together, these services foster meaningful connections, confidence, and growth, helping youth feel understood, supported, and empowered.
