Greetings and welcome!
I am a licensed clinical social worker able to provide psychotherapy services to children and families 10 years and younger. In addition, I am also a Registered Play therapist (RPT), a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, and an EMDR Certified Therapist.
I have almost a decade of experience working with children and families from a variety of issues ranging from ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I focus on a interpersonal neurobiology approach (What is going on with the nervous system and its impact on symptoms) while utilizing different treatment modalities such as play therapy, EMDR, client centered, and creative arts. I am also trained to run Circle of Security groups for parents focusing on problems related to connection and attachment.
My goal is for children/families to learn ways to increase connection, understand the underlying meaning of what is going on, and how to manage dysregulation when it happens.
I also provide parent coaching services. Why parent coaching? Well, it's perfect for parents who don't need formal therapy services, but would like some help as a parent to help understand your child's big baffling behaviors.
*Due to the nature of coaching, it is unable to be billed through insurance and will be private pay only*
I currently only work on Sundays from 11-3.
