Trauma Informed Treatment
Trying to overcome different degrees of trauma can be a challenge, especially without appropriate support. Trauma informed treatment can be an effective way to work toward creating the life that you envision through healing the root causes of present day symptoms. My goal as a trauma therapist is to help therapy participants acknowledge, understand and process difficult events in order to lead a more balanced life.
Play Therapy
Children learn about themselves, others and the world around them through play, that is their primary language. Play therapy is an evidenced based practice that allows a way into the inner world of the child so that meaningful shifts and progress can be made. Play therapy can assist with issues children experience including behavioral/emotional outbursts, self esteem, aggression, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment struggles, life transitions, and more.
