Therapist Overview
Kids face all sorts of pressures, choices, challenges, and traumas in our culture today that affect the way they connect and engage with their worlds around them. It can look like anxiety, depression, behavioral acting out, emotional walling-off, etc. I work with children and families to investigate and discover what’s needed to repair and rebuild the damaged or broken pieces that affect kids day to day. As a parent, you’re hoping for ways to help understand what your child is going through and learn more effective ways of supporting them through the hard places so that your family can find its sense of peace, love, and connection. I am trained in Trauma-Informed Care and Attachment Theory. When meeting with kids for session, I use play therapy strategies, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Adlerian theory, and Trust Based Relational Intervention strategies. I work collaboratively with parents; you are the pivotal change agents and supports in your child’s life to bring about change.
