What do you love most about working at GTA…
I am new to GTA but look forward to families’ commitment and involvement in their child’s therapy and being entrusted by families to help their child heal and grow.
What should clients know about working with you…
I love working with children. They are energetic, creative and extremely funny. I usually use play therapy when working with children and finds that it helps children express what is bothering them when they are not able to express it verbally. Play helps to regulate emotions, provides the opportunity to practice and master social, emotional and problem solving skills. Also, the family’s involvement is essential to the child’s success.

The official story…
I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) with both my undergrad and graduate degrees. I have been practicing for eight years and have worked in a variety of settings to include residential, In/out patient, and community mental health.
As a result, I have worked with diverse populations to include the severely mentally ill, trauma survivors, couples and Military/ blended families. However, my passion is working with children ages 3-12 with behavioral, social and emotional issues. I have discovered that when families are included in their child’s therapy it helps to ensure the positive changes transcend to all areas of their child’s life.
