I work primarily with youth in the Justice System, and youth with problematic sexualized behavior. Working as an empathetic and compassionate resource for treatment of at risk youth, I value person first and client focused modalities which improve therapeutic outcomes; thus reducing recidivism. I am certified to treat the “Juvenile Sex Offender” population, which I have carefully and methodically created a best practice and strengths based curriculum and program that connects youth, their family, the Justice System and resources available that previously was not accessible. The “Youth with Problematic Sexualized Behavior” program treats youth with criminal sexual offenses, youth that exhibit reactive sexual behavior, and youth who struggle with unhealthy sexual behaviors. I offer a non-judgmental and safe space for youth to receive treatment and process their own history of trauma, abuse and neglect. Show less
