With several years of clinical experience working with an array of populations and their mental health challenges. Therapy is a collaboration between myself and the client. Growth and healing start by meeting my clients where they are and guiding them to where they would like to be. I have the significant experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma related issues, as well as LGBTQ+ issues. I have a client centered focus and believe that each person is an expert at living their own life. Sometimes we need support to face and overcome challenges and struggles.

I work with a wide range of clients, each facing their own set of challenges. Whether it's dealing with issues related to eating or embracing neurodiversity like autism and ADHD, I strive to create a warm and inviting environment for self-discovery. I have a wealth of experience working with kids, teens, and the LGBTQ+ community. As someone who identifies as queer, my goal is to create a supportive and empowering space for fellow LGBTQ+ individuals.

Therapy is a collaborative process that can help us move through painful situations and challenging transitions, finding meaning even in darker places. As the poet May Sarton wrote, 'without darkness/nothing comes to birth/As without light/nothing flowers.' Constructing a safe and supportive container for healing allows us to explore patterns in a different light. In this renewed relational field, development and choices take root. Grounded in Somatics, an approach that builds awareness of links between mind and body, I am influenced by Jungian analytic psychology, psychodynamic, cognitive/behavioral, and family systems frameworks.

You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated by Maya Angelou. Life is full of positive moments where the strength to define ourselves and develop skills to live more fully are easily found. But when life becomes whittled with challenges, stress, and struggles, the test then becomes learning to navigate our feelings, recognize our thoughts, and make changes in our behavior to live more wholly. Most of the time we are capable of handling life’s stresses, but sometimes things can get too overwhelming and stressful, and we need help.

Would you like to better understand yourself? Are you experiencing relationship problems? Are you wishing for clear direction? Having difficulty navigating life's obstacles? I value your ability to discover, through guided exploration and discussion, your strengths and abilities to come up with your own answers.

In my forty years years in private practice as a licensed psychologist and registered expressive arts therapist, I offer therapy sessions, which weaves together expressive Arts Therapy and Jungian Psychology to individuals, adolescents and couples.This approach allows each client to understand their internal world, trauma, and obsolete styles that hinder their growth and happiness as it opens up new possibilities, resources and creativity to address life issues.As a result of this approach, clients also define what is meaningful to maintain their healing and growth. .

As an interactive, solution-focused Integrative Holistic Therapist I strive to empower YOU to make long lasting behavior changes that are the foundation for a lifetime of health and well-being. I work with a wide spectrum of challenges, ranging from addiction to stress management. I also provide guidance and support to those looking to enhance their life or in the mist of change. Research shows we are impacted by multiple interconnected dimensions. These dimensions include our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being.

A person who would benefit from my services may feel anxious or nervous about reaching out to a therapist, as asking for help is a very difficult thing to do. They may struggle with anxiety and depression on a regular basis. They may be unsure about what symptoms they are experiencing, but they just feel "off". This person may or may not have a history of traumatic experiences. This person will likely be seeking a way to organize/experience/work through thoughts and feelings enough to increase their overall health and enjoyment in their lives.

For several reasons, including a very full schedule, I am not able to take on new clients at this time.
