For child/adolescent therapy, my background includes 10 years as a preschool lead teacher and a child/adolescent development background prior to becoming a mental health therapist. As a mental health provider of young people, I am very dedicated to helping them build a positive base from which to grow into healthy adults. I have specializations in working with children/adolescents with ADD/ADHD, bullying issues, anxiety/depression, hair and skin picking issues, school/social ups and downs, grief (divorce, death, school changes, shifting social groups, and blended families), LGBTQ+ youth, and being the sibling of a special needs sibling. My educational background includes special education; I can and do attend/participate in IEP and 504 meetings at your request.
