Art allows people to express themselves and their ideas without having to put them into words. This is one of the reasons that art therapy is so effective especially with children and adolescents, Some of the issues that most benefit form art therapy include; trauma, physical and developmental disabilities, PTSD, ADD/ADHD and mental health or behavioral health issues.

Facing difficulties in life can seem overwhelming, seeking therapy is a courageous first step in your journey for emotional wellness. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, certified in EMDR, I work from a client centered, strength based methodology to address personal life challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach, assisting clients find meaning from their struggle and create a path towards healing.

Has a stressful or traumatic event left you feeling depleted, depressed, anxious, or disconnected from your loved ones? By getting lodged in our bodies, stress makes it very difficult to “just get over it,” or "move on." Moving forward and healing, however, is possible. Even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Your choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.

What is a “mindful parent,” exactly? A mindful parent is the one that asks: how do I know that what I am doing is preparing my child mentally and emotionally for an increasingly complex future? How do I optimize the relationship I have with them right now to better ensure they become an adult that is empowered not entitled, self-reliant and compassionate, curious, and competent in a world of increasing artifice? Those are great questions and, luckily, we have the answers. Developmental research has identified ways you can enhance the parent-child relationship to prepare your child for a more secure, autonomous adulthood.

Life is unpredictable and can feel difficult to manage. It can feel like there is nobody to confide in resulting in feeling completely alone as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel. We all have a story to tell and our story is what makes us unique, but it does not define who we are. No matter what our story is there is always an opportunity to achieve the life we envision for ourselves. Therapy can help to provide the comfort, reassurance, and support to grow in the ways that we desire. Together we will work through challenges you’re facing by learning how to deal with these obstacles while exploring your true self.

In my work as a clinical psychologist, I believe the connection between therapist and client to be the most important agent of change. Healing happens best in the context of a warm, collaborative and supportive relationship. When an individual is going through a difficult time or life experience, he or she often feels small, disconnected and incapable of making positive changes on his or her own. In safe connection, it becomes possible for the individual to feel empowered, connected and more flexible and capable of making the decisions and behavioral changes necessary to heal and/or move forward.

I work with clients ready to do the work of connecting with the self in the present moment. As a certified mindfulness instructor and a mindfulness practitioner, I bring mindful presence to the therapeutic process. Using somatic, integrative, intuitive and mindful self-compassion principles, I hold space for my clients to understand their inner wisdom and knowing. Clients who are willing to cultivate awareness and recognize their patterns, conditioning and reactivity based on their childhood and environment will benefit greatly from our therapeutic relationship.

There's no shame in having a therapist. The right one will walk with you in the fullness of your experience as a person and help shape your evolving story. I have 29 years of practice experience and supervisory work and am happy to share my knowledge and expertise with you. Together we can figure out what your sticking points are and how you can create a more fulfilling life experience. I treat adults, teens, families and mental health colleagues for supervision purposes. From the right relationship, anything is possible. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
