I am a marriage and family therapist, drama therapist, and AAMFT approved supervisor. I specialize in creative approaches to treatment for individuals and couples. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal oneself and overcome life's challenges through accessing inner sources of vitality and creativity. Therapy is the space that allows the cultivation of those inner resources in order to discover new ideas, realities, strengths, flexibility and move toward greater health, happiness, and well-being.
With this philosophy in mind, I blend talk therapy approaches with drama therapy techniques (rehearsal, role-play, sound & movement), as well as mindfulness meditation to offer comprehensive treatment options for clients. I guide couples through improving their communication skills to strengthen their trust and minimize conflict.
I have provided treatment for individuals of all ages, couples, families, and groups in a variety of settings including outpatient, home based, school based, after school, residential, and in-patient. I received my master's degree in counseling psychology (focus in drama therapy) from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

Every client is unique, so I tailor each therapeutic journey to the client's needs and personality. That said, for self exploration I use metphors and images as well as acting things out in a role play. Couples work focuses on improving communication, intimacy, and establishing healthy ground rules. Clients with ADHD need supportive structure. Whatever the issue, I will meet you where you are at.
