My practice serves individuals, children and families facing a variety of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, family conflict, life transitions and substance abuse recovery. It is my goal to work collaboratively with my clients to create positive change. I use play therapy with children and adolescents to engage them in the therapeutic process. I work with adults using compassion, empathy and a natural curiosity, which helps to gently empower my clients toward completion of their treatment goals. If necessary, I will coordinate with schools, probation, DCF or other agencies.
I am trained in Hypnotherapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences, including PTSD. If you would like to learn more about EMDR please visit www.EMDR.com
I offer both day and evening appointments. Please call or email today to schedule your intake. I look forward to working with you.
