I am an experienced Psychotherapist with over 25 years experience working with children, teens, adults, and families in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, divorce, and other life changes. I offer Polyvagal-informed therapy with the focus of eliminating the symptoms that have impaired healthy functioning.
I offer services for depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. As a Registered Play Therapist, I use child-centered play therapy and CBT. As an EMDR (I/II, advanced) therapist, I treat trauma and anxiety in both adults and children. As a certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) provider, I offer support from a Polyvagal informed perspective.
I offer a comfortable, convenient setting where both children and adults can express themselves verbally or through art, sand tray, and play. Treatment is Polyvagal-informed, client-focused, and specific to each individual. Additionally, my office is dog-friendly, and I may have my own dog, Daisy, present (if you are comfortable with dogs!).
