You’re finally on your way home after another long day. This should be when you can finally take a deep breath and relax, but it’s not. The day’s stress is still with you, and you have no way to shut it off. And in some ways, this is more comfortable for you. You’ve spent so long training yourself to ignore your own needs that it’s easier to stay focused on everyone and everything else. But lately, you’ve begun to wonder what it’s all for. You see other people enjoying full lives. Meanwhile, you’re stuck in this narrow existence. You love your career, but there must be more to life than this. It’s time to make a change.

Life comes with a lot of stressors that can be difficult to manage on our own. My intention is to help individuals become the support system they need, cope with daily stressors, and manage big emotions. My work focuses on using the skills you already have within you and amplifying your ability to be creative; helping to ensure you get the most benefit from your time in therapy. I’m passionate about sparking creativity and working through the therapeutic art process rather than for a product. If you’re interested in trying out art therapy, reach out today so you can and allow yourself to grow through creativity!

Harriet Tubman once said, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Within our therapeutic relationship, you are the dreamer.

If you’ve found me, you know how difficult it can be to seek answers in the areas of understanding the differences in communication, ways of learning, and social preferences for both neurodiverse children and their parents. You are most likely exhausted and eager to learn more about science-based resources to help your child reach success, as you haven’t been afforded effective parent management techniques or learned about the neurobiology of attachment. Developing co-regulation techniques is essential for calming the nervous system. These techniques guide families and improve family function. I am licensed in NY and VT.
