I believe throughout our lives, from childhood to adulthood there are circumstances that cause us to lose sight of our true authentic self. I value taking time to develop a therapeutic relationship based on trust, compassion and acceptance. My sessions are casual, with a playful caring approach with sensitivity and genuine understanding. When working with children, I like to use play based techniques and movement to assist in regulation while discussing stressful topics. I work with children, teens, young adults, families and adults of all ages. My work experience and extensive training encompasses a wide range of presenting conditions and concerns. My specialties include anxiety spectrum disorders, self-esteem issues, trauma, adoption issues and relationship barriers. I have an understanding of the sensory system related to regulation dysfunction which I bring to sessions. My approach attends to the needs of the mind/body connection, and is family focused when appropriate. My passion is brain function and its impact on our thoughts and feelings. I have an extensive tool-box to develop traditional and alternative strategies that best fits you or your family. Reach out to me or the staff at Authentic Healing to get started.
