As a mother of grown children and step-children; and someone who has experienced divorce, re-marriage, and step-families both as a child and an adult, I have a real understanding of many of the issues that bring individuals and families into therapy.
Therapy should not be complicated - it's really about sitting down and talking with another person without feeling judged, talked down to, or being told what to do. My goal is to provide safe, nurturing, and effective psychotherapy to adult, adolescents, children, and families. I use practical and individually tailored approaches. With children and teens my approach is relaxed and non-threatening. I often use play therapy techniques such as: games, art activities, and sand tray. With older teens, adults and families, I strive to create an atmosphere of teamwork that allows clients to educate me about their lives and they changes they want.

I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with both children and adults.
Whether you had more ups or downs in 2020, it was a trying year for everyone. Perhaps it brought new behaviors out of your children or yourself. Maybe it reminded you of past traumas. Many of us have "big T" Traumas like abuse or near death experiences. All of us have some "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected by others. Part of us gets stuck back when the no-good-dirty-rotten-thing happened, but you don't have to stay there. You can be free of the grip of both big T and little t traumas. These no longer have to affect you, your child, the way you parent, or a myriad of other things like weight management.
