As an art psycho-therapist, I conduct a private practice utilizing the creative arts. In a collaborative venue, I serve children, adults, and families, focusing on an inquiry that unpacks the many potential ancestral gifts, talents, and/or current narratives that are challenging the weary client or family. Facilitating the transformation of harmful personal or familial patterns demands empathy and therapeutic skill; such patterns may be brought forward within a variety of unique life span experiences, growth opportunities or demanding transitions.

My goal as a clinician is to deeply understand and be by your side as you explore your life and circumstances. I will always hold compassion for you and help you find it for yourself as you work toward emotional healing and growth. I have a psychodynamic lens and perspective but pull interventions from a wide range of evidence-based practices such as Family Systems Therapy, CBT, ACT, and DBT. My aim as a therapist is to understand where the problems in your life and relationships began, how they are maintained, and from that understanding, how we can make meaningful change.

Because your mental health journey isn't just about you; it's also about creating change in a world that desperately needs more understanding and empathy.

The Family Connection is a safe, inviting place that helps people to address their own concerns and grow to be the person that they want to be.
