Clinical Extern
I’m excited to join Milestones Psychology as a clinical extern for the 2024-2025 school year to work alongside and learn from a dedicated team of clinicians to support children and families as they navigate challenges. My approach to care is rooted in a belief that collaboration is essential, and I look forward to actively involving parents, teachers, and other providers to create an environment that supports and empowers children.
I focus on using evidence-based methods that are tailored to each child and family's unique and specific needs. Working with children across a range of ages and backgrounds, I want to emphasize developmental milestones and personal strengths, equipping each child with practical skills to thrive in their personal, academic, and social lives.
I have experience working at the inpatient and residential level with adolescents experiencing anxiety disorders, mood disorders, OCD, and behavior challenges. I have received training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and look forward to further expanding my skill set and expertise.
I look forward to offering a strengths-based approach to children and families to build confidence, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals.
