Family & Youth

We offer support for caregivers of children who have experienced trauma by providing trauma-Informed trainings, support groups, camps and retreats. We also run a closet for foster/adoptive parents and train cuddlers for substance-exposed newborns at Advent Health’s NICU.

I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s level Marriage and Family Therapist, with specialized training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). In addition, I completed 8 years of PhD-level coursework and research at Northcentral University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on relationships and understanding family dynamics, attachment issues, and patterns of codependency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy (SFT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST) are my preferred therapeutic modalities.
