Connect with your innate creative ability to cultivate a relaxed and present state of mind, find freedom from painful past experiences, effectively meet challenges, and find ways to heal and grow. With evidence-based therapy tools - EMDR and Induced After Death Communication (an EMDR protocol for healing grief), Art Therapy, Sandplay, Jungian Dreamwork and Guided Imagery - you can access your own unique well of wisdom to solve problems, resolve trauma, reduce anxiety, lift depression, and navigate life's transitions - on an adventurous and fun journey exploring the rich resources of your own imagination.
As your therapist, I'll serve as facilitator, witness, supportive counselor and encouraging coach. I offer a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere, a safe space to explore and find ways forward. In addition to therapy services, I’m also a Board-Approved Qualified Supervisor for Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns in Florida. Welcome interns!
Let's connect for a brief phone consultation. We can discuss what's bringing you to therapy, what you'd like to gain from it, and I can answer any questions you may have. Interns are also invited to schedule a consultation!
