About:
Fundamental to my work is my view of the therapeutic relationship as a unique agent of change and healing in human beings. I highly value each relationship with each client, and I seek to be genuine and to honor each client I work with. I have extensive experience working with children, couples, adult individuals, and families. I have particular specialty in child trauma and attachment difficulties, parenting issues, couples work, anxiety and depression, issues related to grief and loss, and complex family system issues.
In my attachment work with children, I utilize Daniel Hughes's dyadic developmental therapy and rely on the presence of the child's secure attachment figure(s) in session. In couples work I draw from extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. My approach to grief work is highly relational. I thoroughly enjoy both play therapy and sand tray work.
I deeply believe that all healing comes from God, "the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change". I also believe that lovingkindness truly is the essential therapeutic resource. I seek to listen well and to honor each client's unique experiences and perspectives. I highly value therapeutic art, improvisational games, play therapy, sand tray work, and other expressive interventions, and I utilize these when my clients feel open to them.
