For over 20 years, I have experienced the power of the therapeutic relationship and its ability to heal. If you are reading this, you may be suffering from depression, relationship conflict, indecision, anxiety and/or stuckness. My job is to help you find clarity and ease. Even in the midst of uncertainty, and/or when you are healing from trauma, we can change your mindset so it starts working for you instead of against you. You will better understand the habits, unconscious patterns and/or hurtful environmental barriers to your health so you can let go and move forward.

I provide adult ADHD assessment, individual therapy, and couples therapy. If you grew up with emotionally unhealthy parents, experienced trauma, or abuse, you might know you need therapy but feel afraid of taking that first step.

Through the work we do together, we can find a way through the stuck spaces inside so that you can allow yourself to feel intimacy in healthy relationships, know your power to make choices in your life, fully experience your positive emotions, and trust your ability to know that you are finally safe.

My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, addictions, eating disorders, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

As a licensed creative arts therapist (drama, art, music, movement, play. creative writing) my skills are especially suitable for clients who have been through levels of trauma (domestic violence, divorce, dating abuse, PTSD, grief and loss, depression, self-harm, anxiety. etc.). In addition, I work with high-functioning kids/teens on the autism spectrum. I have found that the visual and physical work of role-playing, scene-work, improvisation, simple drawings, and video work increases their skills to recognize facial cues and feelings. Through play, these clients build self-esteem, social skills, deepen their emotional range and gain empathy.
