My purpose and passion is working with children and their families. I approach counseling from a child-centered, mindful, and play-based approach. My belief is that we learn best when we are having fun, when people are curious about our worldviews, and when we are presented with developmentally appropriate treatments and strategies. Central to my approach is that we are all given challenges in life as a way to grow and develop into our best selves. Many of us are doing the best we can with what we know. Counseling can help us all do better.
Intentionally looking for the potential in the perceived problem and the possibilities for growth and change, I utilize techniques and interventions from my extensive training in Play Therapy, Filial Play Therapy, Animal Assisted Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotional Freedom Techniques and/or Social Thinking to meet treatment goals.
Unique to my practice is two Animal Assisted Play Therapy dogs: Baxter and Sarah. As co-therapists, they bring a loving, welcoming, and comforting presence to the counseling process. Research has shown that the presence of an animal in counseling can lower anxiety and motivate participation. Ruff to that!
