As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about helping others find hope and healing through their relationships. I value relationships and strive to build a comfortable space for those I work with to process events in their life, find strength in themselves and develop a deeper connection with those in their life. I value supporting people in a variety of age groups, from infancy and early childhood to adulthood as well as those in the perinatal period, who have experienced stressful or traumatic events find healing and strength.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) including preverbal trauma approach, Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), & Circle of Security-Parenting. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C). I have completed Level I of Theraplay training as well as the Permanency and Adoption Competency Certificate (PACC).
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize a family systems approach and attachment theory with a developmental perspective to help individuals and families grow together while finding comfort within their relationships. My experience involves working with young children and their families in an outpatient day treatment program as well as infants, children, teens and adults in an outpatient therapy setting. I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), TheraPlay (level 1) and Circle of Security-Parenting.
