Anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the endless stress of our fast paced society contribute to suffering and interfere with our ability to enjoy life. Working with couples and individuals from a mindfulness -based perspective to promote compassion, patience, and kindness is my primary goal and the approach I take in therapy.

As a parent, it’s always difficult to see your children struggling and sometimes even more difficult to find support and help.

I combine play therapy with art, mindfulness , EMDR, movement, and sand tray therapy to help children understand their thoughts and feelings, increase emotional connection, learn better coping strategies, and identify and express their needs.
