My clients bring in a range of issues and have varying ideas of what they would like to change about themselves and/or their lives -- but they all have one thing in common, and that is motivation for change. Therapy can, and should, be a place for self-reflection and self-improvement and I am here to support that process. While a lot of my experience has been with children/adolescents and mood disorders, I approach every client with an open mind and heart, and strive to always create a safe and inviting space.

I use gentle, empowering approaches such as expressive arts, clinical hypnosis, mindfulness, "parts" therapy, inner child work, dreamwork, and body-oriented psychotherapy to support clients in uncovering their inner wisdom and stepping into their true Selves.
My ideal client is eager to utilize their creative imagination for healing and wellness. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety and parenting challenges while navigating their own old wounds. Often, these clients are also neurodivergent, highly sensitive, and struggling with chronic pain, IBS, substance use, obsessive thoughts, or compulsive/habitual behavior. My younger clients are typically neurodivergent and struggling with fitting into a world not created for them. These children are often expressing their struggles as anger, anxiety, and sadness. I help clients learn to trust and communicate their needs.
