I believe it is possible to create meaningful changes, to be the person you want to be and live a happy, fulfilling life. For young client's fun and play are important. Incorporating creative, expressive art and play therapy interventions is my specialty. This is a great way to connect with children and teens unresponsive to traditional forms of therapy.
My practice is based upon over ten years experience working with adults, children and families. I have extensive training and experience working with bonding and attachment in adoptive/ foster placements, trauma, PTSD, adolescent issues, addiction, addressing high risk behaviors including cutting and self harm, parenting issues and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Throughout each session, as someone is able to build insight and awareness into the nature of their own experiences and reactions, an enriched ability to appreciate, express and be responsive to one's own needs are gained in ways that can begin to extend into other relationships and activities in positive ways for everyone involved.
