Children, youth and young adults, who are dealing with past or present trauma with PTSD or c-PTSD symptoms that include flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, anxiety, and sleep problems and disociative symptoms. I also work with depression, aggression or mood swings and disordered eating.
I offer a few different therapies that are unique. EMDR and playful EMDR for children helps people process their traumatic incident without a great need to discuss in detail. I tend to use art therapy and sand tray work to build on a person's strengths. They are also tools for mindfullness and regulations. Another regulation helper is my therapy dog, Reese.
It can be hard to find someone that you can trust and feel safe with holding your story. We will take the time you need, to feel comfortable and ready to do the work. This is your journey to healing, and I am here to support you with it. Reese is also ready to support you with snuggle and cuddle time. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
