I work with individuals and families across the lifespan both in person and via telehealth formats. My specialty areas include child development, trauma, anxiety, grief & loss and chronic medial issues. I have a play therapy room designed for expressive therapies and family systems work. I am certified in trauma, EMDR for children and adults and am faculty at the institute teaching in trauma informed care, play therapy, clinical supervision and animal assisted human health. My work involves complex divorce and reunification therapy. I provide clinical supervision for professionals seeking licensing or play therapy certification.
Play therapy offers the child an environment of safety. If children are able to say what they think or how they feel through toys/art/sand/media with someone who can translate their behavior and facilitate the process, they will respond positively and can successfully work through their presenting issues.
I have credentialing in EMDR, expressive therapies (play therapy supervisor RPT-S, children's yoga) and certification in trauma informed services. I am certified in adoption and foster care issues and work in conjunction with multiple therapy dogs with certification in Animal Assisted Therapy.
