About
After working with children and families for 15 years in foster care and adoption settings, I developed a passion for empowering people who have experienced trauma, grief and loss, and who struggle with relationship issues. Life always presents challenges and the ability to move through those challenges with a strong sense of self is important. I work closely with clients to develop a strong therapeutic relationship, which engenders an environment of safety and promotes healing. I am an EMDR Certified Clinician which integrates attachment theory, CBT and emotion regulation. I also use child-centered play therapy with children. Using emotionally focused interventions is especially important when working with adults who experience challenges in communicating and managing emotion and/or adolescents and children with behavioral issues. When working with children I also incorporate child-centered play therapy to encourage therapeutic expression and healing. My background in foster care and adoption provides a unique perspective to the challenges that families face. I can help parents and children strengthen their relationships, reduce conflict, increase understanding, and address ongoing issues within the family system. My work with individual adult clients includes an emphasis in infidelity.
