I use an Attachment Focused, Family Centered treatment approach with children, youth, and families struggling with attachment and other disorders related to complex developmental trauma. My work focuses on building positive and healthy attachments, healing trauma, accepting grief and loss, and helping families, children and youth bloom where they are planted.
