I believe that children and families thrive when they are heard, affirmed, and supported.  Although hardship is inevitable, I believe in each individual’s yearning for healing and growth.  I work with young people and their families to ease the sting of adversity, teach skills, and to help rebuild their lives as they envision them to be.  I use a variety of treatment modalities including Sandtray Therapy, Play Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to address traumatic events, attachment problems, sexual abuse, life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, divorce, and behavior problems.  Additionally, I work with parents to build skills that will improve the relationship they have with their child.
