The search for a therapist can be difficult, so I am very glad you're here. I have over 18 years of experience in treating children and adolescents through an attachment and relational parent-child lens. I incorporate parenting support into each session in order to best support both you and your child. Much of my therapy with children also includes family therapy as I view parents and families as an integral part of treatment. When working with adults, the work tends to be longer term. I use an attachment and values based lens to get to the core of what my clients are struggling with in order to create new, healthier patterns.
I specialize in supporting families in: parent/child relationship, trauma, behavior problems, divorce, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, self-harm, social skill development, and self-esteem issues. I offer play, art & sand tray therapy as well as traditional talk therapy. With adults I specialize in: parenting, anxiety, depression, family of origin,
relationship challenges, and general life stressors. I am trained in EMDR to help heal trauma and I am very humanistic and strength-based in my style and therapeutic approach, which allows me to get to know what is most important to you. Thank you for considering me to take part in your journey. Now booking clients in Folsom and Loomis!
