I am an experienced Art Therapist, artist, wife and mother. I experienced that loss of my oldest son at birth due to HELLP Syndrome in 2003. I understand this type of grief both personally and professionally. I also understand the issues that arise when you also struggle with fertility issues following a loss. Becoming pregnant in the midst of these issues requires a mindfulness practice to stay in the present while paying attention to the past and being hopeful for the future. I work from a creative arts-based practice that focuses on your strengths.

Having been married for over 40 years, raising a family, working with thousands of clients, and now training therapists for licensure, I have some experience, perhaps even more than most other therapists. I'm sensitive to the tough demands and conditions thrown at us. You may be up against some problems that are unreasonable. I can help you figure out what's going on...really! We can develop a better understanding of all the factors contributing to the issues. I'm not afraid to ask the hard questions. Then, we can make some creative plans and moves. Whether it's depression, anger, relationships, or circumstances, I can help.

You know something is amiss, but you cannot place exactly what it is or return to a state of harmony. You know full well you can continue to function in your daily life as is but are troubled by the aching within yourself there is capacity for profound thriving. There could be several different issues plaguing you, all telling you that “this is just the way it is now” or “we’ve tried it all” and “there’s no possible way things can change”. This is where your story changes. All it takes is a small amount of courage to become the hero of your own story. To feel reconnected to yourself and to the world. To live in peace and true joy.

Together we can work towards uncovering the real root of your struggles so you can experience long term healing.

If you are like so many others who need a safe space to process and work through the emotions of life, I can help. Together we can collaborate and work through solutions to try and fit your needs.

My role is to create a safe enough environment for you to be your authentic self, first in therapy and then showing up authentically with those around you.

Please feel free to reach out in an anxious time. I encourage a direct and focused path to help people learn and apply lifelong skills to address learning issues, attention issues and mood issues.

You can achieve very difficult goals when your purpose is clear. People with attention issues, depression, anxiety and autism spectrum, as well as other differences all have unique ways of looking at the world. You are not lost and you are not alone in this.
