For both teenagers and adults, challenges can create anxiety, frustration, depression, and the feeling there is no way out. I offer safety and support where you can freely process emotions and thoughts, come to a deeper understanding of yourself, and find ways to get unstuck. Together, we look at self-defeating patterns and seek to understand their source. My goal is to connect with clients regardless of where they may be in their experience. I partner with and hold space for clients, assisting them in finding their internal strength and discovering practical solutions to challenges they face.
I counsel struggling adults and teens who are experiencing challenges and encountering crises, as well as those who desire to create personal change. My study of Jungian based Sandplay Therapy has taught me the importance of exploring life not only as we see it on the surface, but also symbolically, and from the deeper wisdom of our inner psyches.
Having spent many years as a Licensed Massage Therapist, I've long embraced a holistic orientation towards life, recognizing the importance of mind/body/spirit balance. Health is not only working through presenting symptoms, but also movement, in all aspects of a person's life, towards growth and self-awareness. This is a sacred and essential journey.
