I specialize in OCD, Trauma, Anxiety, Selective Mutism, child behavioral issues and gifted testing. I am a Registered Play Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed School Psychologist, EMDR Certified Therapist and a certified PCIT Therapist. When working with adults, I meet you where you are at. I focus my work with children on play-based, EMDR and cognitive behavioral strategies with a strong understanding of how children process and communicate. The family is always an integral part of therapy with children so I love bringing in parents and siblings in order to create a better future for the whole family.
I use evidence-based treatments for a variety of presenting concerns including PCIT, EMDR, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Child Centered Play Therapy and more. I also specialize in evaluations for the gifted programs in Sarasota and Manatee counties. I can also provide telehealth therapy for clients in Montana.
I also offer an Adults with OCD Therapeutic Support Group in Sarasota. Therapy is always tailored to individual needs so even if you are questioning an issue and would like to consult with a professional, please reach out. I am here to help in any way that I can.
