Garrett specializes in working with children and adolescents who struggle with trauma, anxiety, self-regulation, and familial issues. They utilize play therapy when working with children in order for the child to best express their lived experience.
With adults, Garrett enjoys working with people who have personality disorders, psychotic disorders, PTSD, relationship issues, and mood disorders.
“Therapy is a microcosm of life, where we can explore issues that cause distress, work to lessen that pain, and work with our strengths to build a better understanding of ourselves.”
