• California, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, 124192

I have over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and parents in a variety of settings such as pre and post adoption services, alcohol and drug services, community mental health services, schools, and outpatient mental health services. While working in pre and post adoption services, I supported biological families as well as foster families in re-building healthy attachment with their children and teens. I also helped to inform these families of how trauma symptoms can present through mood outbursts and how to promote self-soothing skills. I later went on to help run an alcohol and drug treatment center that focused on helping young adults gain sobriety and access to tools for restarting their life. In addition to this, I have provided social skills groups onsite at local community mental health centers as well as schools (elementary to high school) in order to promote confidence around new social settings and interacting with peers. I also have experience working in a group private practice setting providing outpatient CBT services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Much of my work involved working with children and adolescents around anxiety, social skills, and OCD tendencies. I also provided support to parents around language and tools that can be used to help their child overcome and manage their mental health symptoms.
