I am a Child Specialist and Certified EMDR Therapist for all ages, children and adults. The more I learn about children the better I understand adults. Our past suffering affects how we live our lives as adults, interacting in relationship with others while managing what life throws at us. Children must learn how to be themselves while trying to fit in, earn good grades, and make their parents proud. They feel anxious, afraid of failure, rejection. Like us, their emotions affect how well they behave and do at school. My goal will be to deal with the cause, not just the symptoms, of why you call me.
I practice from a client centered approach as your consultant in your journey to your personal well-being or that of your child. I inform Special Education parents of their rights and how to take charge of PPTs . I treat the whole person and advocate for what is needed. Children, young adults, and adults; trauma, abuse, crisis or won't go away problems.
I love learning new things, meeting new people, and solving problems together. Paint, clay or a tray of sand can be used by kids & adults when words cannot explain. Sometimes a good laugh is the best medicine. I love my work. I have fun. I have discovered that fun works miracles. Please call me for any questions. PS: Spanish is myn second language.

I work with victims of trauma, single incident or long term repeated such as sexual molestation, with children or teens suffering with social or learning problems or with parental separation or divorce. I begin by helping clients build calming resources. My typical treatment is EMDR, play therapy and sand tray work when there are no words to explain.

I use a number of different approaches depending on what is needed at the time and what works for you. I will start by getting to know you, your story and how you hope therapy will help you. We will decide where to begin and will develop strategies you can use to manage the situation better. If EMDR is needed, it will be explained in detail. Together, we will decide what is the best approach.
