I specialize in therapy care for children, teens, young adults & families. Parents are included as part of the therapy process from start to finish. Individual clients are seen as well using a relational and humanistic lens. Issues you may want to focus on: building cooperation & fostering openness instead of hostility & defiance; growing self esteem & confidence instead of fearfulness, clinging & sadness; increasing tolerance, self control instead of tantrums & aggression. Our work will heal family patterns of discord, hurt & division & will help children along their journey of becoming a confident, well rounded individual.
Mindfulness Based Play and Family Therapy and Parenting by Connection training have provided me with experience and interventions to help parents empathically listen to and respond to a wide variety of issues facing children. The results of which are a more confident and secure child and peaceful, connected home environment. EMDR trained and experienced.
You are not alone in your journey. All treatment is trauma focused, skills and relationship based so that you not only solve your current problems, but also learn skills that will assist you throughout your lifetime. We are resourceful, one of a kind & creative. We all deserve help that reflects these truths.
