As an individual, child and play therapist, I work with ages 3 and up providing sound, evidence-based treatment approaches. I strongly believe in creating a partnership with individuals and families, orienting my approach from a trauma informed lens. I also believe that therapy does not have to be a dreaded task to be completed, but can be a warm and nurturing environment where we move towards goals set by you. In our time together, we might use mediums such as sandtray, clay, painting, storytelling, walking, and even play to move towards set goals. Expressive Art Therapy can be for everyone- unless you prefer it not to be.
As your therapist, I embrace person centered approaches and techniques, emphasizing the importance of the relationship between the client and therapist. I use evidenced based treatments including: EMDR, Playful EMDR, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Sandtray, Filial Play Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, Child Parent Relationship Training, CBT, and others.
I believe in the resilience of all individuals; I also believe that there are many unique strengths that each person holds. If you are ready to take that first step in making a meaningful and positive change, I would be honored to walk this path with you.
