Now accepting clients-please reach out to see if our schedules are compatible. "I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your being." This quote from Hafiz sums up how I feel about my clients and how I approach our work together. No one is perfect, but everyone has value. I work to cultivate a space where people feel valued for the multifaceted identities they hold and where nonjudgmental curiosity welcomes difficult, messy questions that seem to arise simply from being a human. I enjoy working with folks who value Intersectionality, LGBTQIA+ affirming and Neurodivergent affirming care

Clients who have wounds, especially interpersonal ones, find that they feel heard without judgement when working with me. I don't get embarrassed or surprised and I think clients find I am warm, genuine, open-minded and respectful.

Talking with people in counseling is a gift people share with me and I am honored when I can be a part of someone's "story." With 20 years of clinical experience, I have had many opportunities to help people navigate changes in their lives. I believe in the importance of connectedness.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.

I believe you are exactly where you need to be.... Right now. Rumi said it best: "The wound is the place where the light enters you." The suffering, the vulnerability, the anger and the fear are perfect opportunities to shine a light of awareness and begin healing. I offer a safe space for each awareness to unfold without judgement. My approach tends to be ecclectic and holistic, incorporating spiritual practices to raise your consciousness in order to create alignment with your heart, body, and soul so that healing may begin.

Being human is hard! I believe most of us are doing the best we can with the awareness that we currently have, and also know that things can be easier and we can feel better. We must learn to attend to our own internal experiences to safely connect with ourselves and with others and build a healthy support system from the inside out. I’m passionate about providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore dysfunctional patterns that are causing pain, increasing stress, and taking away from our fulfillment in life. We must be and create the change we want to see, and I am here to help you, your family, and your child reach their goals.

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.
