My hope is that all of my clients will begin to approach both themselves and their world with more gentleness. With so many beautiful moments to capture, do you ever stop and notice what it is that you attend to? These are the things that are filling your life. I believe that small moments are actually opportunities to develop more peaceful encounters with ourselves. Fortunately, we can recreate the way we speak to ourselves. I have over fifteen years of experience and have treated children, adolescents and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety and learning differences.
Licensed in CA as a Social Worker (LCSW 129132) Licensed in NY as an Art Therapist (LCAT 001240) Therefore, my practice is unique in that I can offer BOTH traditional talk therapy and specialized art therapy techniques. I have extensive experience working with individuals with histories of trauma. Expect a warm space for deep processing & tools to practice.
Every moment we have a chance to begin again.
It's admirable to have come to this moment where you seek change. It's insightful to be here.
So, let's begin again!
Contact me if you are looking for a seasoned therapist where you will find kindness, professionalism, understanding, active banter and countless creative approaches to help address your concern.
