Therapist, Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC)
My professional philosophy is meeting the client where they are at and providing hope in a situation where others may feel hopeless. In addition, I am committed to serving others and providing a voice to those that otherwise feel voiceless. I hold the belief that it takes one caring adult to impact the life of a child. I find that separating the individual from the behavior gives the opportunity to address feelings of inferiority through encouragement and the reframing of mistaken beliefs. As a result, clients can increase a sense of belonging, externalize problems, and strive in a socially useful way.
Professional experience in residential and day treatment programs; along with, in-home intensive settings. Knowledge in delivering culturally competent therapy, skills, and behavioral management services to children and adults.
Additional experience in children’s mental health case management, navigating court systems, placements, and initiating services with the client’s best interest in mind.
