I have specialized training and experience to facilitate EMDR with children and am equipped to help children process trauma in a way they can understand, even when they don’t have the cognitive ability to explain their experience.
I spent my first fourteen years of clinical social work working with children and families in a residential care setting. I have experience in treating trauma and attachment wounds. I believe that a person’s intrauterine experience and history of adverse events and/or stressors can shape one's life – creating unwanted physical sensations, emotions, depression, anxiety, and trouble building and sustaining healthy relationships with others. I am trained in EMDR therapy and use EMDR as a tool to aid in decreasing stressful feelings and experiences.

If your child/teen struggles at school, at home, or in their relationships with others, they may benefit from counseling.
Life's stressors affect even the youngest. Children and teens face pressures that can lead to emotional and behavioral difficulties. When given an environment where a child feels safe and accepted, their walls come down, and healing can begin. I work to create a safe, engaging environment that provides space for your child and teen to express themselves while learning helpful skills. Challenging behaviors are viewed from a trauma-informed, developmental approach incorporating regulation and attachment-based strategies. I use a variety of modalities to meet your child's and teen's individual needs.
