Looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. It can take time to find someone that is the right fit for you. I offer free phone consultations to help initiate an understanding of what your needs are and if I am the right therapist for you. I engage with clients using varied therapy modalities tailored to my patient's needs. I offer Sandplay and EMDR to help access the spirit and body's natural tendency towards healing. I provide a comfortable atmosphere for personal growth and the space to be able to move beyond your past.
I employ EMDR to help individuals (children and adults) move beyond past trauma and access the brains desire to heal old wounds. I also offer Sandplay as a useful tool for children, adults and families, encouraging healing through insight and connection.
I believe the relationship you develop with your therapist is one of the most important parts of the therapy process. I provide a supportive therapeutic environment that is comfortable, safe and conducive to personal growth, for clients of all ages.
