By learning to communicate feelings and experiences with parents and others is a life skill which will improve their mental health and quality of relationships throughout their lives.
​
Prior to becoming a mental health therapist, I taught middle and high school for over a decade. I can personally attest to​ what today's youth experience as they deal with socio-emotional/life issues, peer relationships (which are complex!), media, gaming, bullying, and all too frequent isolation.
These issues are more than what the nervous system was designed to process at any level of development, much less during a period in which they are naturally trying to establish themselves as individuals.​
​
I am also a certified member of the Homeschool Counseling Network and am a Preferred Mental Health Provider for both PARENTS and STUDENTS in the community.
​
TRAUMA
I provide a safe, supportive environment where clients are accepted and free to explore your experiences without judgment. We can help to identify triggers by recognizing patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors which may be linked to traumatic events.

You will be gently guided to develop coping mechanisms, learn effective strategies to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance.

Trauma therapy also involves using specialized techniques to confront and process traumatic experiences, which can help reduce their emotional intensity and associated fears.
This approach fosters healing and empowers clients to move forward with greater resilience.
