Maybe you’re here because you’re struggling through a difficult time in your life. Maybe you have a pattern of thinking or behaving that leaves you feeling exhausted and you’re wondering what change and growth might look like for you. Or maybe you just feel stuck and alone. Whatever your circumstances, I offer you a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings, to get to know yourself more fully, and to find hope for new possibilities.

Individuals of any age struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief , loss , and difficult life transitions may improve with treatment that accesses the creative side of the brain through a safe and therapeutic method of emotional expression.

My preferred method of practice and my professional strengths involve a combination of our work together, identification and change of negative thougt patterns, and an exploration of sensations and moods that are assoicated with these thoughts.

You can begin to feel a sense of well-being, meaning, and purpose in your personal and professional life.
