"Art therapy offers a unique path to access and express dreamlike or diffuse mental images representing emotional memories that often are non-linear and therefore difficult to express verbally. The imagery then becomes the subject of contemplation and discussion with the art therapist and will add to the client's understanding of what motivates her/his behavior and emotions. In addition, art making is a soothing and meditative process and helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression while working through sometimes difficult issues."

"My approach supports re-connection to one's inherent capacity for healing, hope, and recovery. A deep sense of sadness, unmet longings, panic, low self esteem, and perfectionism can be too much to grapple with alone. You deserve understanding, and I strive to learn what's most important to you in our work together. I have a warm, nonjudgmental style and see individuals and couples looking to build their self awareness, break dysfunctional relationship patterns, and repair wounds and past hurts which have resulted in disconnection and relationship difficulties."

"Psychotherapy is a collaborative experience in which you take an in-depth look at your life, perspectives and behaviors and explore what may or may not be working with a trained professional. Each individual experiences life in one's own unique way, with one's own set of personal values and goals. Sometimes life circumstances can create a conflict with a person's values. Sometimes people try their best and cannot change the way they feel. "Good people" can experience depression, anxiety, anger, grief, substance abuse, trauma and other circumstances, which, with the assistance of a trained professional, can be resolved."

"Have you been challenged by life circumstances, relationships, and/or your own emotions and reactions? Has something become difficult to navigate with your usual ways of coping? Perhaps you are longing for growth but wondering what might foster it . . . As I meet with clients, I offer a supportive space to actively listen in an environment that promotes safety, freedom of expression, compassion, and new directions. Together, we can consider possibilities for next steps. In this process, I seek to incorporate the mind-body-soul connection, recognizing that each person is multifaceted, unique and wonderful."

"Anxiety allows living things to survive by providing a fast and forceful response to threat in the environment, either physical or emotional. But at times, these responses become dysfunctional and anxiety reeks havoc on the very values and relationships we live for. It benefits us to distinguish between responses that are helpful vs unhelpful or destructive. It’s valuable, to take time to explore which direction you truly need to move. All humans need help at times with perspective. Talking with a professional therapist can treat maladaptive stress, build productive insight and foster emotional maturity in self and in relationship."

"Therapy can be a wonderful opportunity to connect more deeply and genuinely with yourself in a way that translates to deeper connections with others in your life. It is also an opportunity to make changes in your life, get support during a difficult time, work on relationships with family, friends or romantic partners, or heal from a deep loss. I offer therapy which is collaborative, active and respectful. I listen attentively, ask questions, offer observations, develop strategies and give feedback with warmth, empathy and a lack of judgement."

"I believe that people have the internal resources necessary to grow and change, and that therapy can be extremely helpful in facilitating that process. The interesting thing is that if you have awareness about feelings or behavior, but you're still not able to make the changes you want, then there is likely another level of insight that needs to happen, and therapy can get you there! I have been honored to be part of that process with individuals and couples dealing with a wide range of issues in both community mental health and private practice."

"Essential CTS clinicians and coaches are committed to helping young people overcome obstacles and move forward with their lives with clarity, vision and confidence.

"If you're struggling as a couple; or struggling individually with alcohol or other drug use, with chronic pain, or trauma; if someone you love is struggling with these - I can help.
