Experiential Therapy
Family Systems
Feminist
Music Therapy
Narrative
Person-Centered
Play Therapy
Relational
Strength-Based
Trust-Based Relational Intervention

I attempt to match the type of treatment to a person's preferences. Some people, especially those who are developing their language ability, prefer therapy that isn't talk-based. With children I use play and music to engage therapeutically, and with adults I provide mindfulness/meditative practices. I like my clients to feel comfortable talking as much or as little as they'd like.
