I believe that each person is born unique and important to this earth. Behavior is adaptive and as such can be understood in the context of experience. I assist with helping others understand patterns of behavior that may contribute to one's unhappiness. I work with marital and relational difficulties to find ways of communicating and honoring differences. I teach about positive communication and assist with developing skills that lead to feeling heard and understood. I assist parents to successfully teach their children to accept and follow direction with the use of behavioral programs best suited to meet the individual need.
I have training, education and experience in serving children, adolescents, adults and families. I am specialized in the use of Art Psychotherapy I am trained toward certification in Somatic Experiencing. I am also trained to use Comprehensive Resource Model to work with dissociation resulting from complex trauma. .
I create a safe environment through compassion and acceptance. I am trained and educated in child developmental disorders. I use art to explore and assist others in deepening their relationship to the self through understanding and self acceptance.
