My practice is geared towards providing counseling services to young children (with a focus on age 2-4), as well as clients recovering from issues related to COMPLEX trauma. (See www.nctsn.org/what-is-child-trauma/trauma-types/complex-trauma). I am a Registered Play Therapist and a Certified Animal-Assisted Play Therapist (accompanied by a therapy dog and a therapy cat.) I am trained in SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy), developed for children with complex trauma, and I am provisionally certified as a Drumbeat facilitator.
I primarily utilize play therapy w/children, with the integration of therapies developed specifically for complex trauma. I incorporate expressive arts (art, music, sand tray, etc.) into the counseling process w/older children/adults. I am trained in HRV biofeedback, which can help clients develop self-regulation capacities to better manage chronic stress.
I am accepting new clients on a case by case basis only. New clients MUST BE: 1) 4yrs or younger, 2) a foster or adopted child seeking counseling related to trauma OR 3) a person of any age seeking counseling to address COMPLEX trauma issues. (See www.nctsn.org/what-is-child-trauma/trauma-types/complex-trauma). Please inquire By EMAIL.
