I use play therapy techniques interwoven, when appropriate, with trauma focused strategies and sensorimotor techniques.
My approach is warm, playful, and relational. I work with children and teens whose stories are in the making; stories that are stored in their bodies and minds; stories that are played out through behaviors and actions. I help interpret behaviors as we work towards change and healing. I engage with children, adolescents and families when something feels “off”, when something bad, sad, or scary happens. Together we work on regulating feelings, thoughts, and experiences in our body. You learn to become more attuned to each other and connect.

We can all become stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, or just feel we’re not living our best lives for many different reasons. Additionally, the current unrest in society around us can shake a sense of security or predictability we may have held about what our futures hold. These may cause disruptions in sleep and appetite and encourage negative thoughts and moods to grow and persist. Whatever your struggles, I ensure professional care that is collaborative, respectful, and that has your best interests at heart.

My goal is to help you live and act with integrity, increasing ability to respond - while maintaining compassion for the changes that take support, time & practice. My experience lends itself to those touched by abandonment, childhood traumas & addiction - be it those trying to recover from addictions themselves, or those affected by another's. I do not believe in 'fixing' people, but rather dismantling the myths of being broken. Experience shows that our greatest challenges are often unsprouted seeds to the most potent strengths. Our task is to usher that growth.

I believe that therapy can be a deeply strange, powerful, and intimate experience. As a therapist, I try to cultivate a space that is playful and authentic. Together we can examine longstanding patterns, relationships, and modes of being in the world. First and foremost, I'm committed to creating an environment where you can start to put language to confusing, difficult, and sometimes hard to express feelings and experience. Perhaps even more important than articulating thoughts or ideas about yourself, the hope is that together we can find ways for you to experience a deeper and broader range of feeling.

Clients and myself are on a journey, to explore and notice the things that bubble up, the things that stay stuck beneath, the parts of themselves that enter the therapy room: the grieving parts, the sad and scared parts, the joyful ones. I work with clients who are seeking for meaning and understanding in their responses to the relationships in their lives: those with family, with partners, with spirituality, with creativity, with work and life's purpose, and beyond.

A few openings in September. Do you have paralyzing anxiety that makes it hard to concentrate or live in the moment? Do you feel unable to see the brightness in your life because of the dark depressive clouds above you? Are you struggling with dealing with a painful past which has left you feeling hurt, worthless, hopeless and very stuck? Trauma, anxiety, depression and other issues all affect your brain/body functioning. Hearts can race, minds can spin, palms can sweat, heads can be foggy and you may feel as if you are constantly in danger even when you aren’t.
