My ideal client would be someone who is open to expressive therapies when words are not enough. Goals ranging from increasing coping skills and self-acceptance to crisis intervention, I believe that connection is one of the most important factors in the therapy setting and clients would want to partner together in healing.

Is your child struggling? Children, teens and their parents face unprecedented challenges in today's rapidly changing world. Anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, attention problems, school stress, difficult relationships, life transitions, chronic illness, grief, mental illness and other experiences compound the inherent challenges of growing up. You and your child may feel discouraged and alone braving these challenges yet experiencing challenges is universal and affirms our connection to each other. How different would life be if we instinctively embraced this truth and reached out for connection to grow through challenges together?

I am inclined to quickly identify the challenge, explore the origins of that challenge as necessary and move to a strategy to overcome that challenge and move forward from there. I have spent the last several decades here in Austin working in direct service mostly in residential settings and primarily with youth 'ageing out' of the foster care system and have spent my entire career working with the youth and young adults we now call 'transition aged youth'.
