My clients are smart, successful people who want to create change in their lives. Does your life look good on paper, but you don't feel happy or fulfilled? Experiencing mild to moderate anxiety or depression? Maybe, like many, you suffered trauma, now interfering with your quality of life. You want insight and action, process and results, to feel and perform better. Maybe you are the concerned parent of a child, seeking help for emotional or behavior problems.
Let’s talk. My passion is helping people make meaningful change. I have over 20 years of experience. My specialties include life transitions, attachment, trauma, loss, and grief. I enjoy using Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, Play, Sand Tray, and Art Therapies; Theraplay, TF-CBT, and Attachment-Based Parenting in my work.
I'm warm, supportive, and insightful with a good sense of humor. Client-centered, holistic, and creative. I will both support and challenge you. I know you can make the changes you desire and I want you to. I will hold that space and vision for you until you can hold it for yourself. The journey is the work. Let's go!
