My practice provides a safe haven for vulnerable children to heal and grow. Combining various expressive techniques, such as art, music, and play, allows children a natural and individualized environment for building strength and for healing. Parent/guardian involvement is paramount, and I encourage this in all phases of the process.
Warmth and genuineness characterize my practice, enhancing each child’s comfort level in opening up and sharing their experiences, with the goals of diminishing the effects of negative experiences, of improving self-concept, of feeling safe, and of growing into a confident and fulfilled adult.
Areas of specialty:
•Childhood domestic violence
•Grief and loss
•Abuse and neglect
•Crisis intervention
•Divorce and separation
“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul."
