Training in child-centered, attachment-theory, and experience in attachment-focused interventions allow me the opportunity to help you understand your child's brain, the root of attachment wounds, and finding coping strategies that will bring healing and joy back to your family.

I have training and experience in trauma-informed care along with TBRI (trust-based relational intervention) to help transform the way you're connected to your foster kids and how they're connected to you. I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Trained and experienced in identifying the negative core beliefs that are lingering from the trauma that being in foster care can leave on a child.

I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Trained and experienced in identifying the negative core beliefs that are lingering from adoption trauma.

My primary population is focused on dealing with the trauma that we have experienced through life. I have extensive training and experience from trauma-informed specialists, client and child-centered therapy, and a thorough understanding of how trauma affects the brain through the science of Polyvagal Theory and felt-safety.

I have taken 40 hours of training and 10 hours of consultation to become EMDR Trained in order to help the brain quickly reprocess trauma wounds that fuel the incongruence behind negative core beliefs we have about ourselves. I am currently in the extensive process of becoming EMDR Certified

Play therapy is a structured, theoretically based approach to therapy that builds on the normal communicative and learning processes of children. Play therapy strategically helps children express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts and feelings. Toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language. Through play, we can help children learn more adaptive behaviors when there are emotional or social skills deficits.
