Background
I have served as a counselor for children and adults with seperation anxiety, ODD, Abuse, PTS, depression, bullying, trauma, sexual abuse, grief and loss, early stages of dementia and their caregiver and those who have ADHD since 2015. I untilize play as a means for children to process and communicate their experiences and for teenager to geriatric I utilize sandtray, creative arts and talk therapy as a form of processing and communicating their journey.
Passions
It is my desire to be one part of an individual's support system helping to find the answer that lies within that could resolve the day to day struggles that can be present in one's journey. It is my belief as a Licensed Professional Counselor-Intern that I am to enable, empower, and encourage individuals along the journey to self actualization.
