Clinical Approach
I utilize a person-centered, developmentally appropriate approach when working with children and adolescents, emphasizing rapport-building, emotional safety, and trust. I integrate CBT techniques to support emotional regulation and coping skills, alongside family collaboration to reinforce progress outside of sessions. My work is grounded in culturally responsive and affirming care, with a strong commitment to supporting diverse populations, including Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing and LGBTQ+ youth.
