I am a trained Trust Based Relationship Intervention Clinician and Educator (TBRI). Attachment plays a major role as to how safe we are with others, how we connect and how we function in relationships. One of my favorite parenting books is "Parenting from the Inside Out" by Dr. Daniel Siegel, which gives the reader an opportunity to discover their own attachment style. Ideally children need to grow up in a safe and secure home with parents that are consistently loving and protective.

I have a lot of training and knowledge about helping adoptive families thrive. My model stems from an attachment trauma focus perspective. Looking at trauma, sensory issues, connection with others, relationships, health issues, safety and trust are part of therapy. Underneath behavior there tends to be unmet needs that parents and therapist can look at it together. I use a collaborative approach working with children and parents to strengthen their relationship and bond.

My experience in therapy is that women struggle meeting all their needs in this world that asks more of us each day. Trying to be successful, a good mother, a good partner/spouse and complete a never ending list of responsibilities. For many the end result is putting others first and neglecting taking care of Self. I love empowering women to use Self Care and gain awareness about who they want to become in life. For many, family rules and messages cloud their day to day experience.

I am trained in EMDR and see it as a critical intervention to help people process trauma.

I am a certified Play Therapy and see art therapy as a great intervention that helps clients process feelings and where they are in life.
