As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) , my passion lies in guiding children and adolescents through their emotional landscapes using an integrative approach that combines play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
My journey into counseling was sparked by a deep-seated interest in understanding and nurturing emotional well-being. Recently, I was accepted into the advanced play therapy program at Sacred Heart University, demonstrating my commitment to developing myself more fully for the children I serve. My primary focus areas include addressing Childhood Anxiety and Stress, Behavioral Issues, and promoting Social and Emotional Development.
In my practice, I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families overcome anxiety and stress through age-appropriate, holistic interventions and coping strategies. My approach is patient and compassionate, tailored to address behavioral challenges while engaging closely with parents and caregivers for comprehensive support. I utilize play therapy as a key tool to connect with children, offering them a creative and comfortable medium to express themselves. This method not only aids in therapeutic processes but also significantly contributes to their social and emotional development. My ultimate goal is to nurture resilience and foster a positive self-image in the children I work with, laying a foundation for their continued growth and well-being.
