“Getting in to talk to a therapist about your personal challenges is not easy but sometimes it can make a big difference just to speak to someone about issues that are preventing you from having a fulfilling relationship, job and satisfying life. Using various verbal and non-verbal therapeutic techniques, in a safe, accepting environment, you can find new ways to face your concerns, and uncover your strengths and resources to flourish and grow.
My sessions are interactive and offered in a client-centered approach. I work with adults, children and adolescents, providing individual, family, and couples counseling. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, stress, self-esteem, and communication issues. I also work with artists experiencing creative blocks.
Along with traditional therapy, I have over 15 years experience with expressive arts therapy as a teacher and therapist. Sandtray, writing, art, music, drama, movement or other creative processes can assist in self-discovery and healing. I periodically offer expressive arts groups for individuals dealing with various issues.”

“You were created to be free- free to love and to create. This is your true self. However, something in your life is hurting- relationships, work, home life, your experience of your own feelings or lack of them. You may not even know what you need or want, but you know ‘it’s not supposed to be like this.’ Let’s work collaboratively to uncover your true self- your true self with one face, no longer fearful, repressed, or unsteady. Borrowing from Augustine, let’s find a “safe haven for your mind, a gathering place for all your scattered parts.””
