Background & Approach
I hold advanced training and experience in early childhood mental health, early childhood + in-utero trauma, birth trauma, early identification of trans/two spirit identity in children, play therapy, attachment and bonding, and working with family units to aid in breaking patterns associated with intergenerational + historical trauma—protecting future generations.
