Therapist Overview
Everyone has challenging times and hurts in their life they want to move past. Many need someone to accompany them to move through these times. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to helping people overcome trauma, grief, and disappointments to move toward the goals you want in your life. I have over 25 years of experience with children, youth and families who have experienced trauma, conflict, behavioral challenges, and life transitions including moving toward independence, exploring sexuality, and managing disabilities. I have seen the healing and growth that happen. Give yourself the chance. I use a family systems approach as well as specific trauma informed interventions including Brainspotting. Over the years I have found that many need an approach beyond talking out our trauma. A deeper Brain based method in combination with other methods can facilitate healing. As the parent of a special needs child and a specialist in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, I have a unique view of the stresses of raising children who have brain based disabilities and trauma, including FASD, ADHD, RAD, ASD, foster care and adoption, and attachment issues. I believe it is essential to care for and empower the parent to heal the child.
