I believe even a small shift in insight, understanding or behavior can create meaningful change. I also believe that each person is the expert of their own inner world; others can only know what a person chooses to share. It\u2019s a privilege to be invited into that space and walk alongside individuals and families as they make sense of their experiences, emotions, and relationships in pursuit of a life that is meaningful. When I\u2019m not in session, you will find me spending time with family, being in nature, reading books, or binge watching a good drama series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who I Work With<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Children (5+)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adults<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialties &amp; Clinical Focus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, unhelpful behavior, and challenges related to family and parenting. I have experience working with neurodiverse individuals and their caregivers navigating emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My work is informed by a blend of modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotion Focused Family Therapy. I am also certified in the Collaborative Problem Solving\u00ae (CPS) approach developed by Think:Kids, a program based in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. I integrate these methods flexibly based on each client&amp;#39;s needs and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Master of Social Work, University of Oklahoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Clients Can Expect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose to work with me, you can expect a therapist who is fully present in the room with you &#8211; someone who listens closely and approaches your experiences with respect and genuine curiosity. I believe human connection itself is a powerful agent of change, and I work to cultivate a relationship where growth can take root. I draw from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, client-centered and humanistic principles, and trauma-informed care. I view problems broadly, therefore our work may include reflecting on your internal world as well as the relationships, environments, and systems that shape it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I invite feedback throughout our work, knowing that open dialogue strengthens connection and allows us to adjust course in ways that support progress. When working with children and teens, I incorporate developmentally appropriate, playful strategies to support communication and emotional growth. I utilize attunement and co-regulation to foster connection and a sense of emotional and physical safety. Additionally, I deeply enjoy partnering with parents to extend progress beyond the therapy room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":359,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"wt-staff__therapist__email":"insurance@wave-therapist.org","wt-staff__therapist__licenses":"ASW #131623","wt-staff__therapist__phone":"","wt-staff__therapist__pronouns":"She\/Her","wt-staff__therapist__role":"","wt-staff__therapist__titles":"Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker\r\nSupervised by Kim Moberly, LMFT #108015","wt-staff__therapist__website":"","wt-staff__therapist__available":true,"wt-staff__therapist__can-prescribe":"no","wt-staff__therapist__links":[""],"wt-staff__therapist__locations":[53,50]},"wt-staff_access":[228,223],"wt-staff_ages":[224,230,225,227,226,229],"wt-staff_approach":[46,47,25,177,29,32,35,36,134,37],"wt-staff_cert":[222],"wt-staff_faith":[],"wt-staff_gender":[13],"wt-staff_language":[39],"wt-staff_race":[38],"wt-staff_service":[41,10,5,7],"wt-staff_specialty":[100,15,84,62,16,116,44,21],"class_list":["post-589","wt-staff_therapist","type-wt-staff_therapist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","wt-staff_access-in-person","wt-staff_access-online","wt-staff_ages-adults","wt-staff_ages-children","wt-staff_ages-elderly","wt-staff_ages-preteens","wt-staff_ages-teens","wt-staff_ages-toddlers","wt-staff_approach-acceptance-and-commitment-act","wt-staff_approach-attachment-based","wt-staff_approach-cognitive-behavioral-cbt","wt-staff_approach-collaborative-problem-solving-emotionally-focused-family-therapy","wt-staff_approach-dialectical-behavior-dbt","wt-staff_approach-exposure-response-prevention-erp","wt-staff_approach-motivational-interviewing","wt-staff_approach-person-centered","wt-staff_approach-relational","wt-staff_approach-strength-based","wt-staff_cert-asw","wt-staff_gender-female","wt-staff_language-english","wt-staff_race-white","wt-staff_service-child-therapy","wt-staff_service-family-therapy","wt-staff_service-individual-therapy","wt-staff_service-teen-therapy","wt-staff_specialty-adhd","wt-staff_specialty-anxiety","wt-staff_specialty-behavioral-issues","wt-staff_specialty-child","wt-staff_specialty-depression","wt-staff_specialty-oppositional-defiance-odd","wt-staff_specialty-parenting","wt-staff_specialty-self-esteem"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_therapist\/589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_therapist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wt-staff_therapist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_access","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_access?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_ages","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_ages?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_approach","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_approach?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_cert","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_cert?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_faith","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_faith?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_gender?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_language?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_race","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_race?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_service","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_service?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"wt-staff_specialty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnc-test.myddns.me\/wave-counseling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wt-staff_specialty?post=589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
