Child Parent Psychotherapy

I am a rostered Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) provider. I use this in my practice with children birth to five years old to support them and their caregivers after a traumatic or stressful experience. This model supports family strengths and relationships, focuses on attachment and healing, and respects family and cultural values.

Trauma Informed Care

I'm a trained trauma therapist that understands behavior and symptoms from a trauma lens. It's a shift in perspective from, "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" I use the principals of safety, trustworthiness, peer support and mutual self-help, collaboration, empowerment, and culturally responsive services to guide my work.

Interpersonal

I'm certified in Interpersonal Psychotherapy or (IPT) and I often use this model with adolescent and adult clients to improve their relationships and help them get their needs met in an adaptive way.

Family Therapy

I have extensive experience providing family therapy to address issues such as attachment, divorce, substance abuse, crisis intervention, grief and loss, and domestic violence.

Play Therapy

I'm a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and I have specialized training in working with children and adolescents and helping children to process their thoughts and feelings through play, sand tray, and art.
