I specialize in OCD, Trauma, Anxiety, Selective Mutism, child behavioral issues and gifted testing. I am a Registered Play Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed School Psychologist, EMDR Certified Therapist and a certified PCIT Therapist. When working with adults, I meet you where you are at. I focus my work with children on play-based, EMDR and cognitive behavioral strategies with a strong understanding of how children process and communicate. The family is always an integral part of therapy with children so I love bringing in parents and siblings in order to create a better future for the whole family.
I use evidence-based treatments for a variety of presenting concerns including PCIT, EMDR, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Child Centered Play Therapy and more. I also specialize in evaluations for the gifted programs in Sarasota and Manatee counties. I can also provide telehealth therapy for clients in Montana.
Therapy is always tailored to individual needs so even if you are questioning an issue and would like to consult with a professional, please reach out. I am here to help in any way that I can.
