Do you have a child who is struggling with not being able to communicate with his/her peers and the adults in their life? Or do you know someone struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? Are you wanting to find a way to understand where your child is coming from or come back to a healthy sense of wellbeing? I have worked with school aged children, before and after school, on social and emotion issues, along with working through difficult situations they may face or have already faced, and worked with them on how to communicate with peers and adults.
I have lots of training in anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Understanding there are many reasons why someone can be anxious and/or depressed, I use different ways of helping a client work through the underlying causes with mindfulness, solution-focused therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I am working to integrate EMDR in the future.
One of the main reason why I decided to switch from teaching to counseling was because I wanted the ability to advocate and help those individuals and families who are struggling with mental health and/or family issues. If this speaks to you or sounds like it may be something that would help someone in your life, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
