I provide therapy and parenting support to children and families experiencing adoption, trauma and attachment needs. Each child who comes to see me is struggling with an aspect of their life story. I believe all children have the capacity to heal. My goal is to utilize compassion and kindness to help your child notice their own strengths. By highlighting these children are encouraged to then share their story with their caregivers. Subsequently I help caregivers build their capacity to bear this story. Through this process of sharing and bearing a lifelong supportive connection is built between the caregivers and child.

From a foundation of compassion, kindness and respect, I build the therapeutic experience to include a variety of therapeutic modalities including Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Therapeutic Life Story Work, Narrative Therapy, and Attachment Therapy. I utilize many non-directive methods such as Sand Play, Play and art to help your child engage in therapy.
I believe we are all impacted by the brokenness, abuses and injustices around us. Seeking treatment is not evidence of a child or caregivers lack of skill. Rather it is the acknowledgement that teamwork and collaboration builds healing connections, empathy and resiliency. I would be honored to be a part of your team. Please reach out if you would like that.
