We can't always control what life brings our way, but we can choose how we respond to it. I enjoy helping people reconnect with their natural wisdom in the midst of life's challenges. My goal is to help my clients gain awareness of what is already working in their lives and what patterns and habits have become outdated or self-defeating. A situation, problem or symptom that appears unworkable or overwhelming can offer the key to its own healing when held with gentle, inquisitive attention.

Imagine relaxing the grip of the painful past and the scary future. Imagine letting go of limiting stories and habits, and learning to welcome experiences and thoughts with curiosity and appreciation, instead of rigidity and dread. Imagine learning to befriend your feelings, investigate your beliefs, recognize your strengths, and move toward your values, building on what already works. Imagine learning these new skills and attitudes with a compassionate, light-hearted therapist.

It's not enough to survive, you want to thrive. You want to learn to heal beyond the present crisis, rediscovering your purpose, regenerating body and mind. You want to live a meaningful life connected to others. If you are ready to commit to a path of true healing and growth, then I want to walk that path with you. The driving force behind my vocation as a counselor is the conviction that suffering is the greatest catalyst for personal growth. I don't specialize in disorders, I specialize in people. I design innovative approaches tailored to the unique needs of a small number of highly committed clients.

The hurts of the past are making it harder and harder to function let alone find happiness. The present has lost meaning and things you used to love no longer satisfy. You fear your best days are behind you. You long for something else, something more but don't know what it is or how to get there. You feel you will never measure up. You fear you will never be enough.

chronic illness
, life-altering injury, or significant loss can challenge the development and psychosocial well-being of a child and cause lasting trauma if not appropriately and intentionally addressed. With my support and guidance, children and families practice coping techniques to navigate their "new normal," engage in legacy-building and memory-making activities to facilitate healthy grief responses, learn about their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment through medical play and education, and feel empowered to advocate for themselves in stressful medical situations.

I offer person-centered, trauma-informed art therapy and psychotherapy. My multifaceted experience lends me an adaptive approach in supporting each individual's goals in a supportive, non-judgmental manner. Sometimes that involves art-making, sometimes conversation, often both. I personally understand the transformative capacity of creative expression, and enjoy guiding people through that process. I am passionate about the neuroscientific reasoning behind the human urge to create, and how that urge relates to personal growth and development.

Life can be hard, confusing and painful sometimes. There can be a lot of loss that's difficult to process and accept. It can be hard to find meaning in the things that happen and sometimes challenging to find our full, true, whole selves, especially as we change and grow over time. Taking care of so many responsibilities, other people and ourselves can be overwhelming. I'm here to help you find clarity and calm in the middle of life's storms. You can have a fulfilling, authentic life no matter what you've been through. Sometimes we just need that outside person who encourages us and offers new viewpoints.
