My Approach to Therapy

My goal is to work with you to enhance your life, your child's life and/or the life of your family.  I create an individualized treatment approach that meets the needs and goals of the individual(s) I am serving.  I feel that behavior problems and mental illnesses can significantly improve when provided the appropriate treatments and support systems.  I understand and appreciate the value of collaborating services and if needed, I work to bridge the gap between the many resources available in our community.    I help individuals and families learn new skills in therapy and apply them to the “real world.”  If desired and/or necessary, I act as an advocate for you and/or your family, working with teachers, counselors, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers, and doctors to create a team that will work together to best meet your goals. 

Therapeutic Services

Individual Therapy –  Using one on one therapy, I create an individualized treatment approach that meets the needs and goals of the individual I am serving.

Family Therapy – Often times, the individual is not the “sole problem” and issues with the family need addressing.  I address the family as a whole, as well as each individual’s role within the family to best meet the goals of treatment. 

Play Therapy – Children use play to work through problems, and I use play therapy with children who are unable to do “talk” therapy. 

Case Management –  If necessary, I collaborate with teachers, counselors, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers, doctors, etc.. to best meet your goals.
