My belief is that the therapeutic process is a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist, and that clients are experts of their own lives. I am simply here to facilitate the process of overcoming challenges, helping clients reach their life goals in a safe, non judgmental, relaxed environment. Together we will work on building strong interpersonal relationships, increasing self esteem to reach your highest potential, and coping skills to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficulties that may challenge you. My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients to live a happy, fulfilled, and meaningful life that uncovers their "ideal self."

Everyone has the capacity to heal through creativity. Expressive arts is an alternative therapy that accesses an individual’s innate creative impulse for the purpose of healing through self-expression. I design and lead participants in a series of processes that engage more than one art form to develop mindfulness, interpersonal and intrapersonal awareness and to find joy in creation through community. A typical expressive arts session might begin with movement or music, then morph into writing or poetry and develop into visual art. Sharing and witnessing the creative products in a community allows for processing and acceptance.

Struggling in your relationship? Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, facing communication, trust and intimacy issues, feeling like your partner doesn't understand you, or dealing with a divorce, we' re here! What sets us apart is our structured approach. We'll start with weekly sessions, then transition to biweekly, and eventually monthly meetings.

However, it is precisely these times of struggle that can fuel true personal growth, if you are willing to engage in therapy.
