Sometimes words don't cut it. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or seeking a safe space to explore your inner world? Art therapy uses tools that make traditional talk therapy an embodied experience. If you're wondering about what this actually looks like, the images on my profile illustrate how art therapy offers a safe space to dive deep. The heart of my practice is believing people are their own experts. You are the ONLY you with your unique values, experiences, routines, heartaches, and desires. I want you to feel seen, foster a deeper understanding of your journey, and find answers and solace through your own innate intuition.

I have over 24 years experience working with individuals and couples to radically heal and transform their relationships with themselves, partners and children.
Showing up and doing love well with your partner is not always easy. Most of us did not receive an instruction manual. If you are struggling in your relationship, fear not, as there is hope. The way back to love, connection, and intimacy is possible, so long as you are willing to learn what supports doing love, and eliminate old patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve.
If you are ready to rediscover the love and connection that once brought you together, I can help. Let’s close the gap between what you are currently living and the love you know is possible to be lived together.

Breaking through the barriers. What keeps you from true happiness and living the life you truly love? Perhaps you are in an unfulfilling intimate relationship that is not meeting your needs, or you desire a long-term meaningful partnership but keep finding that area to be a struggle. Are friendships and community challenging? Is your relationship with your family or particular family members in conflict? Often it is a need to learn to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety and fears, negative thinking or challenging relationships that keep you from experiencing a life of joy and happiness.

I use Synergetic Play Therapy for children and PACT for couples.
Starting the healing process is challenging and takes courage. Within all of us is a drive or desire to become whole, happy and connected to our self and our world. I see the importance of integrating all parts and aspects of our Self and becoming more whole and complete human beings. This journey into wholeness in the realization of our potential, underpins our personal journey of transformation and healing. This philosophy is at the core of my approach.

I'm guessing that in many areas of your life you are functioning quite well, even thriving. On the other hand you may be simultaneously experiencing a lack of fulfillment and a feeling of emptiness in another area(s) of your life. Symptoms of this may be anxiety, mood problems (including depression), unhealthy behaviors, and problems in relationships. You can choose the pain of stagnation or the discomfort of growth. If you choose growth, you will experience greater joy, peace, connectedness, and purpose. My purpose is to facilitate your growth, and therapy is a powerful tool for your transformation.

Life can feel especially heavy when you’re watching your child struggle, or when you’re navigating big emotions on your own without clear answers.
I use evidence-based approaches like DBT, EMDR, and ACT to support meaningful, lasting change, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. I also offer psychological and neuropsychological assessments to help identify learning differences, ADHD, autism, and other concerns. Testing can bring clarity and direction, especially when you're looking for answers.

You may have spent years putting others first, questioning your own needs, or feeling caught in relationship patterns that leave you exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. Perhaps past experiences including trauma, family conflict, or unhealthy relationships continue to shape the way you move through the world. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand those patterns with compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have always been there.

As a somatic therapist and Pact level 1 trained therapist who specializes in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Couples Therapy I work in collaboration with my clients to support their development and growth in relationship to themselves, others, and their environment.

I weave in play and attachment activities in my work with children and parents.
I help clients of all ages who are suffering from symptoms such as anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, relationship issues, substance abuse, grief, etc. What I know for sure is that my clients aren't broken or bad- in fact they are trying everything they can to act and feel better. But when we are affected by past trauma/PTSD, our best efforts can get hijacked by a brain that reacts as if we are still danger. I help clients process and heal from trauma, allowing the brain and body to put the past in the past so they can embody the truth about their value, safety, and power leading to more joy, peace and connection.

I support clients using experiential and somatic approaches to mobilize root emotional content that cannot be accessed or moved through traditional talk therapy. I have substantial experience in working with trauma, grief, and depression. I work with men's issues and facilitate workshops and retreats. I have also worked as a therapist in addiction treatment and recovery. I began working in the field of therapy and counseling in 2006 as a Wilderness Therapy guide for teens and young adults doing intensive healing and transformation work in a group setting.
