About
I have extensive experience working with families who are currently fostering a child or have built their family through adoption. I use a trauma informed and neurodevelopmental lens in all of my work, and understand how in utero and early developmental trauma affect children in many areas of their life. As a former foster parent and now an adoptive mom, I further understands how close relationships are created through a sense of safety and trust. I am a Registered Play Therapist and EMDR trained. I combine Child Centered Play Therapy, EMDR and sandtray to provide a safe place for children to process and express their emotions, and to work through their experiences, including their trauma and adoption stories. I also apply these same principles to my work with children who have experienced medical and other early trauma. I understand that parenting children who have experienced trauma can be challenging and requires a different approach and support parents by providing trauma informed parenting psycho education.
