I am a licensed mental health counselor, a clinical supervisor & an expressive arts therapist with over 15 years of experience in supporting children, adults and families with diverse needs.
We all face challenges and could use support at times. I offer a safe non-judgmental place, where you can focus on your needs through creative expression. Art therapy integrates psychotherapy (talk therapy) with the creative process to improve and enhance mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. No prior artistic experience is needed. Art is a universal language of the mind that speaks through images & symbols and allows verbal and beyond-words communication.

I enjoy helping high-functioning adults, LGBT, the elderly, and those impacted by a medical event.
Is your child, teen or young adult falling behind at school or work? Are you worried they may fail, but want tools to help them succeed? Or, is an older family member struggling with aging, mood or cognitive changes, life transitions, or complications from a medical event like a stroke or procedure, that’s affected their thoughts, reactions, and ability to do daily tasks or work? If so, this must be taking its toll! Let me help. I understand how distressing and time-consuming these challenges can be. You need a specialist to assess the situation and give you a comprehensive plan and therapies that work.

As a wounded healer, I have found my own way to sustained recovery and balance through a holistic approach. I understand the therapeutic tools that I use with clients on an intimate level, through both extensive self-application and careful application with others. I have a particular interest in working with people who hear voices, see visions, and have tactile sensations, and who want to make meaning of these experiences and learn to cope if they become distressing. My goal is to help you improve the relationship with your experience to achieve agency, empowerment, and to reduce distress and hopelessness. I work with adults only.

People seek therapy because they want to have a more satisfying life, and have been unable to achieve their goals due to internal and external stresses. In my practice, I treat adults and adolescents who report issues such as anxiety, depression and interpersonal problems that cause them concern. I work individually, with couples, and in groups, depending upon my assessment of the client's need. My current groups are focused around relationship issues; I also work with writers experiencing creative problems, and students who want to resolve writing blocks in order to complete degree requirements.

I believe modern children and young people experience life at a sensory level that would confuse, exhaust and overwhelm most adults.
Now offering counseling appointments for pre-schoolers, children, teens & young adults for part-time summer and the 2024-25 school/college-year. The young people I see often have difficulty with impulsivity and self-regulation; anxiety, depression and low esteem; or are unable to focus. There may be social anxiety and feeling isolated from peers. Kids can get discouraged, disappointed or frustrated at school/home, giving up and withdrawing or resorting to behaviors that hurt them or get them into trouble. Kids really do want to do well, to succeed, to please others and feel loved. It is my pleasure to be with them during this time.

My treatment approach is integrative and personalized to my clients’ needs, focused on building a foundation of trust. I work with clients to identify underlying roots of problems and elicit existing and new strengths and resources. I prefer a holistic approach to treatment which, while based in a psychodynamic framework, draws from my specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, attachment based, trauma-informed and mindfulness modalities. I work with adults ranging from young adulthood through end of life, using a culturally-sensitive approach.

I have worked with a variety of adults, children, adolescents and families throughout my career supporting them with various mental health diagnoses and/or personal struggles.
Whether working with a family, individual, and/or couples, I believe in a relational process in which finding a therapist that is a "good fit" as the groundwork for a supportive, transformative process. I believe that every individual has the ability to examine their life's journey and own their story; all while strengthening self compassion and working to navigate who and how to be in relationships. This along with growing to know, understand and accept oneself. Stepping into the therapeutic process is the first movement towards self discovery and growth.
