  Creative Counseling Connections

  Jun 2024 - Present - Germantown, Md

  I work primarily with children, teens and families, and TBRI-trained. Other people would describe my style as soft and supportive, yet proactive and goal-oriented- making it easy for children and teens to feel comfortable but also grow. I believe it’s important for therapy to:1) include parents as an important piece of the puzzle 2) send you and your child out the door with new skills or a deeper awareness every week and….3) be fun, especially for the littles!For kids, I can incorporate creative arts, play, games, virtual activities and even a therapy swing (!) into our time together. For teens, we may talk or incorporate creative arts depending on what you prefer. Christian counseling focus available upon request.While I work with a range of concerns, I tend to work very well with kids struggling with anxiety, behavior, ADHD and those who have experienced childhood trauma or disconnection from their parent, including but not limited to foster care and adoption. “Therapist lingo” for modalities utilized:TBRI and attachment-based therapies such as theraplay and parent-child interactionTF-CBT, DBT and CBT-based activities beyond simple talk therapy, helpful for those who have difficulty expressing themselves or struggle with anxiety or depression.Brain Integration Therapy for a holistic, non-medicinal treatment of ADHD.
