I believe in the good nature of most people and the need to grow and learn from our life experiences.

In my practice, I utilize an array of treatment modalities that will help you to make better decisions for yourself, your partner and/or your family.

As a licensed professional counselor and a board certified, registered art therapist, I have found that participants in the art therapy process are able to address important issues such as adjustment to divorce, overcoming trauma, enhancing self esteem, managing depression, coping with loss, and increasing self-awareness. Artistic ability is not necessary for this process to take place. Any form of expression using the art materials will provide the opportunity for the participant to find resolution to conflicts. As an art therapist, I can assist the participant to move from non-verbal expression through art making to verbal communication.

Experiencing difficulty coping with a major life transition? Want help getting back to normal? Life changing events can be difficult to process emotionally. Being connected to the present moment in a relaxed body can help us better understand and appreciate our true selves.

Being able to be in the moment and address difficult situations as they are and without judgment is vital to making change easier to manage.
