Come and work with me in a non judgmental,warm and healing environment. Together we will work on an individual treatment plan that will incorporate several key strategies and tools that will help you understand and heal the issues that have been unresolved. Subsequently,my goal is for you to be able to move forward and have a happier, healthier life.

Do you love someone who has an addiction? Have you recently lost someone close to you? Are you coming to terms with the effects of an affair or having relationship difficulties? Addiction, infidelity, grief, and loss are things that many of us struggle with and during these times it can be easy to lose sight of what we need or what makes our lives have meaning. I have found that acceptance, gratitude, and building resilience help us through our most trying times. Having done this work at many important junctures in my life, I offer my assistance to those who are going through these and other difficult life transitions.

Life is full of change and the unexpected. Have you been blindsided by one of the many curveballs life can throw at you? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, or directionless? Realigning after a huge change- be it the loss of a loved one, separation/divorce, job change, health shift, or even college graduation- can be a challenging process. I love to help people adjust, grow, and transform though these shifts, seeing the forest through the trees to come to a fuller, more centered perspective on all that life still has to offer. Finding our way back to peace can be demanding and we could all use some support in this process.

My ideal client is an individual who is willing to work. I have a passion for helping clients learn more about who they are and how to fully accept both the good and the bad with in them. This understanding of who we are, will always lead to a healthier state of mind. For me there is no greater reward then seeing a client reach that AH-HA moment that true inner growth and self-awareness connects.

For 25 years, I have helped people resolve their difficulties with regard to: grief and loss, struggles in their relationships, abuse/trauma related issues, eating disorders, substance abuse and other addictions, behavioral problems, self-esteem, anxiety and depression. Our work together will help you work through difficulties, to promote positive change in your life. I will teach you about underlying psychological principles that help you to understand yourself and how you relate in the world. Along with helping you to understand, I will provide you with many tools, which will give you a clear sense of direction, for making lasting, positive, changes in your life.

The search ends here! Are you: going through a difficult time in your life; adjusting to parenthood; experiencing some anxiety and depression; struggling with infertility or recurrent miscarriages; coping with the loss of a loved one? Maybe you just don't have the words to describe it. The emotional pain sometimes robs us of healthy control and reason. My expertise in clinical applications of art therapy is what you need. In fact, it's what you've been searching for. I combine talk therapy with art therapy for a balanced, mindful approach to tackling the stressors in your particular situation.

Therapy is about you, it can help you learn to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations in new and satisfying ways. When you are feeling sad or anxious, having difficulty with relationships and important life choices, psychotherapy may be helpful by exploring strategies for managing anxiety or depression, reducing relationship tensions or couples conflicts, and coping skills for daily stress.The therapeutic relationship creates a unique safe space, I view it as a collaboration an environment where we can work together in an environment of mutual trust.

Do you have a sense of loss or sadness that won't go away? Do you often feel angry or disappointed by others? Are you sleepless at night with overwhelming worry? Do you experience a sense of numbness or emptiness? We have about 70,000 thoughts a day. Many are a replay of past experiences that create an inner sense or feeling that seems to take hold. Add to that traumatic experiences and sometimes life can feel difficult. Unfortunately most of us haven't been taught how to manage feelings and so we often develop coping tools that keep us feeling safe for a while until the next trigger comes along.

If you are struggling to be the person you want to be, having relationship issues or managing anxiety and depression don't go through it alone. I am here to help you work through your concerns with understanding and compassion. Having been through difficulties in my own life I am empathic towards others who are struggling. We will work together to identify unhelpful patterns and how to change them. You will also have a confidential space to think through what is happening so that you can get from where you are to where you want to be. You deserve to have peace of mind and calm in your relationships.
