I present with an open, light-hearted personality to support the establishment of trust and to build, engage, and grow with patients. My theoretical framework values the following core principles: communication, specifically through movement expression; supporting tension release and vitality; the role of imagery, fantasy, symbolism, and play in the therapeutic process, and the importance of meeting clients where they are physically, emotionally, and developmentally within a trusting environment.

Does this sound like your internal dialogue?: “What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just do better, be better? Will I always feel this broken?” What if the answer is that there is NOTHING wrong with you. What if you were to find out that you are fundamentally, at your core, a deeply good and capable human. What if love and acceptance for self and others were your status quo? We will explore aspects of yourself that may be difficult to love and accept, to help you better understand why you are repeating patterns that are harming you or the people around you, and to find a place where you can safely express all of who you are.

Therapy is essential when your therapist is as invested in you as you are in your own healing process. Many positive feelings and outcomes can occur when you feel prepared to handle the challenges that await you within the therapeutic process. Preparation includes predictability and practicality – two necessary concepts in my approach to solution-focused therapy. When we feel out of control of what others think or feel, or are in situations we feel defenseless in, we need to remember what we can control. We can solve our own problems with the right mindset and plan of action.
