​
Individual & Group Counseling
In my practice I offer individual counseling sessions (45 minute - 1 hour sessions). Sessions can be purchased in block. All sessions will begin with an intake with parents/caregivers. I also offer group counseling for groups of 3 - 8 clients based on central themes. Group counseling is particularly effective for sharing normalizing experience with peers.
School Counseling
Through my work in Seattle Public Schools I can bring an understanding of academic pressures and breadth of caseload to my private practice, and depth of work to my school counseling.
Yoga & Mindfulness
As a trained Yoga & Mindfulness teacher for children I bring mindfulness, breath, and calm to my counseling practice through individual work and group yoga and mindfulness instruction. In times of stress and anxiety yoga and mindfulness can bring a powerful balance to a child's day.
Play Therapy
Play Therapy can be a powerful approach when working with my younger clients to allow children to connect and communicate using their own language of play. I may use play therapy alongside other therapeutic approaches to adapt to the child and their needs.
My Approach
I approach my counseling with a belief that all young people have the potential to make positive change for themselves and for the world around them. I adapt my therapeutic approach to the client but often utilize strength-based counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to create an environment that supports and encourages personal growth.
​
My office is colorful and fun, full of games, books, toys, movement and mindfulness opportunities. The combination of talk therapy discussion and practicing techniques and skills with mindfulness can encourage confidence and social/emotional growth.
​
I work in partnership with parents, families and all caregivers to ensure comprehensive and ongoing support for the client beyond the time spent in my office.
​
I work with all areas of concern but my specialties include divorce and separation, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, friendship and social isolation, self-confidence and growth mindset, and organization.
