Therapist Overview
My passion is working with children 10yo & under who experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, family transitions, grief, & disruptions in attachment. I utilize dance/movement, music, storytelling, play, and art therapies to help children engage in the therapeutic process and heal. Through activities, children are able to freely express emotions and learn to self-soothe using the techniques that naturally help to learn about themselves and the world around them. Parent training & family therapy are also frequently used to support caregivers in responding to children with high emotional needs. By promoting trust & security in the caregiver relationship alone, many symptoms can improve. I have advanced clinical training in the treatment of early childhood and trauma disorders using a variety of modalities. I am also certified in Rainbowdance therapeutic movement program and enjoy working with youth to improve impulse control, self-regulation, positive attachment, confidence, self-empathy, &
