Licensed Associate Professional Counselor
I am a clinician at our Fox Chapel clinic who provides therapy services!
For the past several years, I have had positive experiences working in a school district. My goal is to continue to work with school-aged children who require support in behavioral, emotional, and social skills. I have had a wide range of experience when working with children. I have helped children who find it challenging with ADHD, ADD, learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, self-harming, LGBTQ+, etc. I aspire to create a welcoming space whenever children come to visit during a therapy session.
While in session with your child, I use art therapy to connect with their emotions and needs. Art therapy can be used for all age ranges; however, children tend to connect more positively with art therapy. During sessions, I am flexible and adapt to the child’s needs for that day. I practice coping mechanisms and social skills by using CBT and art therapy.
For those of you who are parents, do you feel like you’re having a difficult time talking to your child? Having a mediator to help through those conversations can be helpful.
