My clients are open to possibilities and want to see growth and positive change but often feel stuck and unsure how to move into healthier ways of being. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where clients can safely explore present and past stressors and trauma while simultaneously developing hope to move forward. Through this exploration, my clients discover and apply new tools that support and empower their journey. It is through wholehearted living that humans find joy and fulfillment. We reach this by releasing unhelpful patterns, embracing authenticity, and healing our relationship with ourselves and others.

It takes courage to reach out and involve a counselor in your most intimate of life's struggles. I honor that courage. My goal is to provide a safe and judgment-free environment for you to process what's going on in your life. Making a connection with a counselor you trust is so important. The most important factor in counseling is the therapeutic relationship. I consider myself to be flexible and easy going. I typically think outside of the box and don't get hung up on any one modality.

I am passionate in assisting individuals, children, teens, families and couples to strive for their best self by making use of their strengths and encouraging compassion. Life and relationships are full of challenging, yet rewarding transitions. These transitions provide an opportunity to better understand ourselves and to strengthen our relationships. When we recognize and understand our patterns of behavior we can then decide how we want to address them.

Sandplay Therapists
What problems are best treated with sandplay therapy?
Research has examined this therapy’s utility in young people and found positive results. It has been shown to be useful for those who suffer from autism, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and or aggressive behavior. Children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or trauma have also seen improvement through this therapy. Abused children are often fearful and anxious about their safety, making verbal communication more difficult.
Is sandplay therapy suitable for children and teenagers?
Children and adolescents are good candidates for sandplay therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts, let alone the emotions they are experiencing. Through this play therapy, they will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Is sandplay suitable for adults?
This type of therapy can be useful for adults who have difficulties expressing themselves. People who have suffered neurological changes after a brain injury or because of a traumatic event might be good candidates for this therapy. In fact, anything that has had an effect on the brain, such as substance abuse, can make non-verbal sandplay a valuable option.
Does sandplay therapy work?
There have been studies on the effectiveness of sandplay therapy, and it appears to improve difficult behaviors in children. It may also enhance self-esteem and lessen feelings of physical anxiety as well as hypersensitivity. This type of therapy is based on non-verbal communication and may feel less threatening to the individual.
