"Good architecture is like a good therapy session, a good marriage, a good poem - gently and almost invisibly allowing you to be you, as flawed and as beautiful as you are." -- Robert Sullivan ________________________________________________ Therapy is about you finding the ability to be the desired ideal of yourself. My place is to work together with you as an assistant in finding the tools and possibilities.

Sometimes life feels like it’s going in the right direction, and at times it throws a few unexpected twists and turns our way. When that happens, we can find ourselves feeling stressed, irritable, frustrated, sad, and maybe even scared. We may find it difficult to share these with others, feeling as if no one will understand. On the other hand, life might feel like it’s going great, but there’s still those changes that you might want to make but are just unsure of how to go about it. Although life can be so different for so many, the great thing is that it doesn’t have to be dealt with alone.

Life often presents us with difficult challenges, and it's not uncommon to find yourself or someone you care about caught in the grip of a disheartening cycle. As a therapist, my mission is to accompany you on this journey, not to change your past, but to explore it with curiosity and gain insights into how it shapes your present. It's a journey where you can regain control over the narrative of your life, whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or low self-esteem. Are you ready to face these challenges with resilience and embrace a journey of self-discovery?

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples build the relationships and lives they desire. We each enter our relationships with hurts and blind spots that keep us from connecting as we would like. Trauma is often the source of our hurt, even if it is many minor traumas. When these traumas are not dealt with, they can lead us to experience anxiety and depression. We must learn the tools to help us heal these root issues. Once we learn the tools, we must practice using them in a safe environment and apply them to other relationships.

Therapy is a journey; my role is simply to walk with you as you navigate the stressors and complications of life.

What else could go wrong? Why do I keep trying? What's the use? I guess this is just how things will always be. No one understands me. I don't fit in. My family doesn't care. Relationship issues, trouble communicating, trouble processing, or still trying to find yourself? Are these questions or thoughts that you struggle with? Well, guess what? You are not the only one. So, now, Imagine yourself with a huge smile, and gut busting laugh that is authentic and genuine. Not like the ones you have faked for so long. Think of that laughter and smile, without feeling all the anxiety, depression, etc..... sounds great right?

As a play therapist, I have worked extensively with children who are struggling with ADHD and trauma.
