“Hope is the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul – And sings the tune without the words-and never stops at all.” Emily Dickinson. Hope begins the journey for each of us to become the person we want to be. With positive unconditional regard and someone who listens, we humans naturally gravitate to feel comfort in who we are. We move toward health, self discovery, and compassion for ourselves and others. I’m passionate about being part of each person’s journey, focusing on each individual’s strengths and resilience. Clients also become comfortable in their bodies as healing our bodies facilitates mental and physical health.

My practice is half children and half adults.
My office on the east side is a low keyed space where anyone can feel welcome and at home to talk ( or play or draw or write) about what is bothering them. Sometimes it is hard to talk, so creating a world in the sand tray can help jump start your journey towards healing. Everyone is welcome regardless of age, race, culture, creed, sexual orientation.

Children and adolescents often struggle verbalizing their feelings which may lead to problems in school, difficulties at home, or in developing relationships.
Trying to support a child who may be acting out at school, at home, or withdrawing from those around them can be frustrating & scary. As parents & caregivers, we do our best to provide love, support, & compassion for our children but may benefit from empathetic guidance. I look forward to supporting you & your family.
