"As a psychotherapist I strive to assist my clients in the process of becoming more whole in all aspects of their lives. My primary training is as an art therapist and I use an integrative approach to promote healing. I find that enhancing talk therapy with experiential methods gives my clients the freedom to express their deepest selves. Within the therapeutic relationship we can find the existing internal nuances and textures that make us all unique and valuable.
My work includes seeing individuals, adolescents and adults, who have depression/anxiety, past trauma, addiction related issues and middle-aged challenges."

"You keep hoping that one thing will change and everything else will be ok. But that one thing never seems to change, or sometimes it does and there's something else that starts eating at you. If this sounds like you, I can help! I see therapy as a safe place to explore all thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The more you can talk about your life, the more mental space is created. Having more internal mental space gives us the freedom to approach problems with more energy and creativity, leading to the resolve we yearn."

The accumulations of life challenge, stress and trauma create beliefs, emotions and thoughts that become conditioned patterns. that cover up and distract us from our ability to be present. These patterns interfere with our sense of self and relationships. Authentic presence returns as the patterns of stress and trauma are integrated restoring a natural vibrancy and aliveness."

"I specialize in working with children and adults experiencing life changes. I support clients in their desire to live according to their values and beliefs, to bridge gaps between here and where they want to go. Everyone does their best to manage life. We may find our old ways of coping no longer work or maybe they never worked as well as we would have liked. Therapy helps identify what has worked, what hasn't and the reasons. Focusing on client's strengths and options, clients learn they have choices and develop skills to make intentional choices to create new, more satisfying outcomes."

""Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow." That's a Swedish proverb, but it's also neuroscience. We are wired to rely on relationships because we need them to thrive. As you've probably noticed, having someone available to share the ups and downs of life with REALLY HELPS. Often connecting with a friend or family member is enough. Sometimes, though, your loved ones are too busy to give you the kind of undivided attention that makes a difference. Or they don't have the knowledge, skill, experience or patience necessary to accompany you where you need to go."

"Often it is a life crisis that brings people to therapy; whether it is internal or external. Making the connection of trust and support with the therapist is the first step to the work.

Understanding these patterns is often crucial to change and improvement in anxiety and depression."
