You recognized that you needed some help. Sometimes, this takes a long time to identify, get up the nerve to seek help, and then reach out and ask for it. You are brave, and I'm proud of you for reaching this point. Now, let's meet and talk about it. I work with people processing trauma, addiction, suffering, abuse recovery, depression, relational struggles, loneliness, sorrow, and loss. I work with children to help with abuse and neglect issues, school troubles, and peer struggles. I work with couples for premarital and marriage counseling and with women of all ages.

Sometimes life gets the best of us, and we find ourselves lacking the meaning and fulfilment in life we deeply desire. The pain that is real and upsetting may be within yourself or within other relationships. Additionally, you may find you lose yourself in the daunting role as a caregiver of a child, a spouse, a parent, or a friend. You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood, with unconditional positive regard to get support and healing that align with your values toward a life of meaning and fulfilment and that considers the uniqueness of your story.

My experience is in working with individuals and couples who struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, emotional regulation, and martial/relationship distress. Increasing one's awareness of their present experience and motivations I believe is essential for change.

My entire adult life I have worked with children and their families as a professional teacher and now a therapist. I easily relate to all ages - children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I understand how important working with families and schools can be for the mental health of the child. As a teacher for over 20 years, I understand burnout, the inner-workings of schools, and the importance of the personnels' mental health and self care. Plus, over 16 years experience with child-rearing, elderly parental care, end of life choices, adult social services, and grief and bereavement therapies for children and adults.

I strongly believe that every human being goes through difficult times in their lives when counseling may be beneficial. We all struggle with various circumstances where it may be helpful to have a separate, unbiased party and support to process through life events. I see individuals, families and couples and have been working in a therapeutic setting for the last 13 years. My specialties include working with those who struggle with depression, self-esteem and relationship issues, as well as other mood and personality disorders.

I believe people are born good and have an innate drive to constantly do better. I also believe when things happen in our lives that prevent us from reaching that potential, we may need gentle guidance to help us reach the potential we desire. Working together, we will strive to find the ways that will individually suit you to help you reach your personal goals. Having worked with individuals from age 7 to 90, couples, individuals, families, and groups, there is a need for diversity in counseling in order to meet each person where they are.

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.
