Therapist Overview
I will be on maternity leave starting September 21st, 2020 and returning December 7th, 2020. Being a parent is an incredibly overwhelming and rewarding role and in the same breath, sometimes it is not very easy to be kid trying to communicate with your parent either. Subscribing to the notion that no one child or family can “fit” into a box, I encourage confidence in individuality and assisting children and families in exploring their shared values and finding a way to use their “differences” as strengths. In family therapy, I strive to increase acceptance, understanding, and enjoyment in the family dynamic. In order to assist both children and their parents in self discovery, I utilize both traditional talk therapy techniques as well as creative arts and play therapy interventions. I also focused on attachment and connection between parent and child through Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Attachment-Based Psychotherapy. I also provide Circle of Security Parenting classes to further support parents in creating long term stability and health in relationship with their children.
