My Approach to Helping

My hope is for children and survivors to gain strength and growth through supportive help and guidance in warm and empathetic surroundings. I provide an understanding, compassionate and safe environment in which to work on troubling events in one's life.
Once I have established a warm therapeutic relationship with children, I am able to help them and their parents in understanding and managing the problems that confront them.
Once I have established a trusting therapeutic relationship with a survivor, we can work together on developing new life patterns.

More Info About My Practice

My expertise in the field of child development helps me in understanding young children. It is with this knowledge that I use compassion to guide children while they use toys as their words to 'play out' their feelings and problems, just as adults use words to 'talk out' their difficulties.
Also, my knowledge and sensitivity to those who have been abused, helps me guide them through the different stages of being a survivor.
You do not have to deal with troubles and worries by yourself, call me to discuss them and see how I can be of help.
