About
Do you have a behaviorally challenging child whose struggling to follow directions. I help children with behavior problems, unresolved trauma and attachment/relationship problems. I help adopted and foster children connect and form meaningful relationships with caregivers. I use a variety of methods to help children and their family, predominantly though I use play therapy, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (trauma-focused when needed).
Parents have an amazing ability to be healers in their children's lives. I also work with parents both one-on-one and live coaching sessions in parent-child interaction therapy, an evidenced based treatment for children two to seven years old. I help parents and children to improve their relationships / attachment with one another.
I specialize in helping defiant/aggressive children, anxiety and trauma. I work with children who have been or are being adopted, or who live with another caregiver through a guardianship. I work with children as young as two using play therapy and PCIT. I'm also nationally certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
