Services

Through attachment and relationship focused work, I support families who have a challenge within their relationships. Challenges might arise from a dysregulated parent, child, past experiences or mental health disorders. If we can strengthen the relationship and give a safe place to heal, the symptoms will lessen.

Play Based Therapy

I am a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist (SPT). SPT is a research-informed model of play therapy blending the therapeutic power of play with nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, physics, attachment, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity.

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Counseling

A caring relationship is the largest predictor of resilient children. The parallel process: If I can support the parent, then the parent can support the child. Through this relationship work, we strengthen the connection between parent and child, sometimes focusing on the needs of the parent and sometimes focusing on the child with the parent’s support.

Child Parent Psychotherapy

CPP is an intervention model for children aged 0-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder. The treatment is based in attachment theory but also integrates psychodynamic, developmental, trauma, social learning, and cognitive behavioral theories. Therapeutic sessions include the child and parent or primary caregiver. The primary goal of CPP is to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver as a vehicle for restoring the child's cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning. Treatment also focuses on contextual factors that may affect the caregiver-child relationship.

Therapeutic Parenting Support Groups 

Circle of Security Parenting is an 8-week attachment-focused, reflective parenting group that allows us the wisdom to parent with reflection and growth – to move beyond being reactive parents.

Professional Reflective Supervision/Consultation

Reflective Consultation is the ability to understand yourself as a tool in the work you do. As an endorsed Infant Mental Health Clinical Mentor in the state of Colorado, I am able to provide consultation geared towards gaining endorsement, becoming a more competent professional and therapist.

Social Emotional Classroom Consultation

Consultants support children's mental health by building on an adult’s existing skills to help children manage emotions, form positive relationships, resolve conflicts peacefully, and take care of others. I contract with early childhood centers and elementary schools as well as provide professional development for educators and in-classroom support.
