I also employ mindfulness techniques as well as expressive therapies such as art therapy, journaling and poetry.
Sometimes we just feel stuck: stuck in the past, in a bad relationship, or not able to make a decision. This could have its origins in a childhood trauma or a series of events that chipped away at self esteem over a long period of time. I assist clients in reprocessing past events to perceive them in a less threatening or emotionally painful way. I believe that we already have the solutions to all our problems, but sometimes they are buried deeply. I am willing to be honest as well supportive while helping clients reveal the answers within themselves.

My treatment approach is a combination of cognitive-behavior, solution-focused, and family systems. My goal is to bring hope to your situation and help you construct positive changes in your life's journey.
I primarily use a Person Centered approach to therapy, and also specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brainspotting, Sand Tray therapy, Art therapy and Nature Informed Therapy.
Do you or your child feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed? Or have days where you feel sad, depressed or isolated from the world? Do you struggle with friendships or relationships in your life where you feel unheard or misunderstood? Navigating through an ever changing world that's filled with constant stressors can be very difficult for most. It helps to have a safe space where you can process your feelings and emotions openly with no judgement. I pride myself in being a safe person for children, teens and adults to speak freely about their fears, challenges and worries. Support and guidance are my goals for our work together.

The psychotherapeutic process brings focus and awareness to where we are now in our lives, where we've been, and the person we want to be. I see the therapeutic process as a journey that we take together. Whether you are an adult, adolescent, or family, my goal is to create a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment where you can explore relationship dynamics, patterns of behavior, identity, and opportunities for growth and change.

Therapy can be an intimidating process. How often have you pushed your mental health aside because life grew hectic; were told to “practice self-care” but aren’t sure what that entails; or been told to “just get over something” and you’re left feeling lost or overwhelmed? Being a human is challenging! We’re filled with complicated emotions that derive from our lived experiences, environment, family dynamics, personality, and genetics. My goal is to help you sort some of that out to relieve depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict.

My practice also extends to those dealing with general stress, life transitions, body image, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I work with individuals (age 7+), couples, and families.

I use Art & Parts informed interventions that greatly reduce or eliminate traumatic stress symptoms to improve resilience/wellbeing.
I love this quote from Dr. Louis Tinnin and Dr. Linda Gannt, Co-Founders of Instinctual Trauma Response Method: "Of all the mental health issues, the ones related to trauma are the most treatable." I hold this same belief and enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and first responders that are experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress (anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, uncomfortable body sensations, etc.). Traumatic stress is an injury that can be healed & effective therapy does not require you to relive past experiences.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
