About Me​

I am currently the Clinical Director and Group Facilitator at Teen, Tween, and Child Counseling & Consulting. I have experience supporting families, children, teens, and individuals on their journey towards wholeness with diverse challenges. At this time, my focus is on children and adolescent behavioral groups and weekend intensives.

​

Each person is created with a different set of skills and abilities that may not

be accepted in today's culture as normative. I have over 15 years of experience, including 8 years of clinical support, working with children and their families, building a coalition with families and children who present challenges within their home and community.

​

These challenges consist of major depressive disorder, developmental and behavioral childhood/adolescent issues, students in need of academic support, foster care, adoption, childhood grief and trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, family issues, substance abuse, school suspensions, and more.

​

Our youth are not "BAD"; they are navigating significant challenges in today's world, much like many adults who also struggle to process current issues. I have witnessed real change in children who have been unfairly labeled with negative tags that often follow them from elementary school and beyond. The materials for our group are rooted in strategies that have proven effective in reducing negative behaviors in children and teens under my care over the years. Through my work in community mental health and school-based counseling, I have developed both clinical and practical interventions aimed at creating lasting change.​

For Parents & Guardians​

Thank you for recognizing your child's current need for therapeutic support. The past four years have been particularly challenging for our children, and for some families, these difficulties have persisted longer or even predated the pandemic. We are committed to partnering with you and your family as we explore alternative solutions to address present negative behaviors. It’s important to remember that the interventions learned in a group setting are most effective when consistently practiced.

 

For Child, Tween or Teen​

These groups are designed with your needs in mind—they’re creative, fun, and energetic, all while focusing on helping you learn alternative strategies to support positive interactions with parents, teachers, and other respected adults in your community. What makes these groups truly special and unique are the quick and meaningful connections you will build with your fellow group members. We’re excited to have you join us and look forward to your participation!
