Program And Family Therapist
CurrentI work with families where the youth is LGBTQ identified and the family is working on accepting the youth's sexual orientation and gender identity. At SCO we use the Functional Family Therapy model to address SOGI and acceptance issues. Part of FFT's ideology is to focus on teaching the family new skills to improve the quality of their relationships with each other. I also work with youth ages 15-21 who live in LGBTQ group homes. In that capacity I serve as the program therapist for two foster homes, each with 6 youth per home. Together, we work toward achieving goals, whether it be getting the GED/TASK, finishing high school, finding work, building healthy relationships, entering the workplace, or living independently. Success is achieved by working collaboratively with the talented and dedicated team at SCO.
