Available Services

Not all therapy models are created equally. I provide therapy using the following modalities, which are evidenced based in working with children from backgrounds of trauma:

• Parent Child Interaction Therapy

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

• Attachment-Based Family Therapy

• Theraplay

Generally, children from hard places need extra support in daycare, camps, school or social settings. We can work together to advocate for your child to learn and grow in the least restrictive environment while also having their needs met.

The months and years after adoption can be confusing or overwhelming for adoptive families. We are adoption-competent professionals and clinicians who are skilled in navigating services and providing trauma-responsive care.  Parent coaching is available for families who are already engaged in therapy services with an outside provider.

Our brains are wired to connect with others. Adoptive parents often learn this in reference to their kids, but it is especially true for parents connecting with other parents. We work to connect parents to a community.

Satori Alternatives to Managing Aggression (SAMA) presents courses that follow a logical, sequential format that leads the person in crisis from the reactive part of the brain to the reasoning part of the brain to resolve the activating situation.
