Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Looking for solace away from all the noise? Many people feel they have to carry the weight of their struggles all on their own. Big or small, nothing should be handled alone, and you don't have to! In art therapy, you can explore and express yourself in a judgment-free space, along with the opportunity to incorporate the creative process into your healing process. I believe a therapeutic relationship is built on authenticity, compassion, and openness. With a holistic person-centered approach, I incorporate mind-body connections via art therapy to create meaning after trauma.

Some common areas I work with include anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, life transitions, and relationship issues (couples, parent/child).
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer a therapeutic place for people interested in exploring how the challenges or “symptoms” you are experiencing are preventing you from being your best self. My foundational training as a Clinical Social Worker has been enhanced with advanced trauma training including EMDR, relational / attachment work as a Circle of Security Parent Facilitator, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness. Several modalities inform my practice including somatic healing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and a relational approach leading to a greater sense of feeling grounded and whole.

"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

Anxiety and Depression are the most common reasons people seek help. Life transitions such as divorce, custody issues, behavioral problems, are some of the other issues. Besides having over 20 years in private practice I have had many life experiences that provide insight and help me to encourage clients to feel safe expressing their feelings and talking about the problems that brought them in for therapy. I try to maintain an atmosphere that is welcoming and relaxing for my clients.
