I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

Have you been told you’re too sensitive or too emotional?  You don't understand why your emotions feel so intense, why things bother you so much, or why you overthink and overanalyze.  You wonder why life often feels so overwhelming and overstimulating. You think that if you could just be more like everyone else, life would be easier and things would improve.  You long for close relationships but even that feels difficult and complicated at times.  You want to understand why you are so different and you don't want life to feel so hard.

Do you constantly second guess yourself or find there are thoughts you can’t seem to let go of? Do you experience lingering grief or need to improve your relationships? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then DLR Counseling Group is for you. It’s a fact. We all carry long-held beliefs that influence our lives. Oftentimes, they were seared into our minds and hearts when we were children. The positive ones cause us to move forward. The negative ones hinder us through fear, anger, self-doubt, hopelessness, or silence. They alter our thoughts about love, race, relationships, death, trauma, and much more.

Everyone has a unique perspective on life based on past and present experiences. Yet we sometimes forget about our inner strengths, resources, and capabilities when faced with challenging circumstances. The stories we know, understand, and tell about ourselves have the capacity to influence our moods, thoughts, and actions. Our beliefs about these stories and the meaning we ascribe to them can sometimes hinder us. My task is to co-explore these stories and experiences with you as a means of uncovering ways to achieve hope and contentment according to your own values and preferences.

Waitlist for new clients
I focus on providing a safe, calm environment where clients learn to trust. A warm and collaborative environment helps clients to regain a sense of felt safety, autonomy, and empowerment. Clients report they feel seen, heard, accepted, and understood. An environment free of judgement encourages clients to “use their voice,” a gentle prompt my clients hear often. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and in the inherent motivation to survive. I will meet you wherever you are on your journey. My approach includes compassionate confrontation and client accountability. If you are ready to work, I am your counselor.

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.
