I have completed training programs in Trauma Focused - CBT, Family Systems Trauma (FST), Play Therapy, Poetry Therapy, EMDR Level 2, and Parenting with Love and Limits.
Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child. Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children, as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.

I have training in EMDR therapy, and utilize various modalities including Internal Family Systems, Strength Based Approach and Mindfulness.
I enjoy helping individuals find balance by addressing the issues that keep them stuck. Feeling depressed, overwhelmed, anxious and wondering how to work through painful experiences from the past? Sometimes the most important thing you can do is to show up and ask for help. My work is to provide an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere for you to work through your discomfort and create a healing experience. I hold the belief that we are all resilient and have the internal capacity to heal ourselves. An essential element in this effort is the development of a trusting relationship between client and therapist.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
