About My Clients
Do you feel stuck? Are you looking for resources to help you/your child overcome anxiety, depression, social issues, anger, trauma, grief, or loneliness? Have you seen a change in your child and you are not sure how to support them? I want to help you or your loved one to have a safe place to process, be equipped, identify & obtain your goals. I work with children (6 and up), teenagers, and adults of all ages.
My Background and Approach
I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from USC and a Masters of Theology from Fuller. I have over 15 years of experience serving children, youth, and their families. I provide a safe space to process and a strength-based and mindful approach that examines what’s working for you and what needs adjusting. In working with children and youth I like to utilize art and play therapy as a processing tool. I want to equip parents and their children with coping skills that will help them identify and achieve their goals as well as be better prepared for future stressors and transitions. If you or your child are feeling stuck, I want to work with you to get to a place of growth and healing so that you are moving forward in the direction that you want.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that growth is always possible and that you are stronger than you think you are. Everyone goes through difficult seasons of life and in these seasons you need encouragement, direction, and safe spaces to integrate these experiences and new coping strategies. We all come from different life experiences that have shaped us. We develop coping skills based on the examples around us or through what worked in a certain situation. Something that used to be helpful or protective for us may not be working or could be impeding growth in our current context. I believe in life-long learning and that includes learning about ourselves and the world around us. I believe in love and acceptance of all people and that we have so much to gain from truly listening. I love all things Star Wars and I keep my anxiety and stress manageable through cooking, long walks, a hot bath, or playing games (board or video).
