During each session I will provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and actions. My approach is eclectic, and includes, but is not limited to client-directed/outcome based; cognitive behavioral (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy. Therapy will be individualized to your specific needs, I rely on you to guide us through every step you take in your therapy, while I offer suggestions and insights. Regularly we will talk about how you are progressing and you. This will help ensure that what we are doing really is helping you and that you are seeing an overall better you. 

Child counseling and parent consultation is provided within a warm, open environment.  This form of therapy involves working individually with a child and using play therapy techniques to help assist them in identifying their problems and concerns. The goal is to help them learn to experience and express a wide range of emotion, learn new social skills and be more empathetic and responsible. I believe that parents are a very important part of the process, which is why they will be consulted during each session to provide feedback on how the child is responding and reinforce the therapy process at home. My heart is in child and adolescent therapy in Fernandina Beach.

My work with families is based on the practice and notion that relationships function best when clients know themselves, communicate well, and are able to manage stress and conflict together. The goal is to create a safe environment where new communication skills can be practiced and learned and where forgiveness and strength can be nurtured and grown.  

Group therapy provides for a way to grow along with others, in a safe and confidential space. Insight is obtained through other's points of view, enhancing personal development and creating a  supportive environment with peers. Group topics vary based on need and age.
