As humans we all inherently seek connection, so I believe that connection and relationships are two of the most important aspects of life. I am a therapist at the Dan Fox Family Care Program, working with children and families in the outpatient setting with primarily attachment-based approaches. I work with kids who have experienced trauma and/or are experiencing emotional disturbances due to a wide variety of situations. I aim to help them with regulation skills and work towards goals that will improve their life. I am a trauma-informed therapist, trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, that wants to walk with clients in the healing process and help them move forward with tools that will aid them as they grow, navigate their emotions, and develop relationships.
