Enjoy Freedom from Emotional Pain! I provide a safe environment that promotes healing for survivors of abuse and children struggling with life. Using various techniques including Art, Sand, Play, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, you achieve freedom from pain and skills to address life's challenges in a healthy manner. My expertise in child development helps me to understand young children. With this knowledge I gently guide children to use toys to 'play out' their feelings and experiences, like adults use words to 'talk out' their experiences.
Dealing with abuse is complex and painful. Not dealing with it can be even more painful. After years of assisting survivors of abuse heal, I have learned how to help guide you on the path of healing. The most important ideas to master are: "It's NOT your fault" and "YOU have the power to make it stop and be free." We work together in a protected and supportive environment to foster this healing.
With compassion and empathy, I work with children and survivors during the most challenging times of their life. You do not have to deal with pain and suffering alone. Call me and discover how we can achieve healing together.
