Through my education and experience as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), I have worked with youth and children ages 5-18 years old helping them through their struggles with anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), life transitions, difficulty communicating their feelings and emotions with others, suicidal thoughts, and self-injurious behaviors. While supporting the individual, I will also work with the family, parents, and guardians to increase the family’s ability to support the client through their difficult experiences.
