There is a special place in my heart for a traumatized child. Traumatic events in childhood have a devastating impact on the child and family. Children need empathic, understanding, knowledgeable adults to come along side to guide and comfort the child through the journey of recovery. I provide caregivers education to support the child while providing practical techniques rewarding for both child and family. I provide play therapy, sand tray, Theraplay (R), and PCIT. I use these with EMDR and CBT to help children process their loss, trauma, reduce behaviors and impulsivity, enhance attachment, build communication and self esteem.
I'm a child development specialist with extensive training in play therapy. I use Play Therapy in conjunction with EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help children process their loss and trauma, reduce disruptive behaviors and impulsivity, use play to build communication skills and enhance a child's self image.
I offer a warm, respectful counseling service where play is used to communicate a child's experiences. I support children struggling with anxiety, ADHD, Autism, social skills, OCD-PANDAS, and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and more. It is my honor and privilege to assist you and your family through your healing journey.
