Are you struggling to connect with those you love? Are you a parent wanting to connect with your child in a stronger and healthier way? Do you feel like your child has big unexplained behaviors that are difficult to manage? Attachment therapy may be the tool you need! By focusing on strengthening relationships, attachment therapy helps parents and children connect and soothe disruptive behavior by strengthening felt safety in the relationship.

My work is informed by the belief that we are primarily changed through our relationships. Although past pain endured in relationships can often be the catalyst for seeking out therapy, I believe that our positive relationships have the power to increase our confidence and felt safety in the world. Through discovering our own attachment patterns, we are able to heal past relational wounds and proactively seek out positive bonds with those we love.

I enjoy utilizing sand tray and expressive art therapy to help both children and adults alike express what they often cannot articulate. When we tap into our creative mind, we can often go deeper into the work we are doing than through conversation alone.

As Gary Landreth famously said, "Toys are children's words and play is their language." Children process their world through play, and we can make the most therapeutic progress by meeting them in the playful world they exist in. I am currently pursuing licensure as a Registered Play Therapist, and use an integrative approach combining my foundational training in multiple modalities including sand tray and expressive arts, Child Centered Play Therapy, Trauma-Play, and Theraplay.
