I focus on honesty, humor, empathy, and true authenticity in my work with adults, adolescents, and children.
Trauma is something that can affect any person at anytime. It often leaves a person feeling lost on how to understand their trauma and best deal with it. Trauma informed therapy can include some very heavy topics, but therapy is so much more than just a place to be sad, it’s a place to better understand oneself and grow as a person. I prioritize creating an environment of trust, laughter, self-discovery and learning; I am not a therapist who will sit in a chair and nod my head for an hour. I strive to make my clients feel comfortable and at ease. If that means sitting on the floor for an hour while we speak, then the floor it is!

As an artist and art psychotherapist, I have found creativity to be a key in getting to possibilities and an expanded outlook. Working with children and adults has taught me that there is a way to access this in conversation and/or through creative arts therapies, such as art or writing. It is a rewarding experience to tap into one's inner resources and awaken the sources of active imagination for experiencing life in one's own unique form. My approach in therapy is client-centered and relationally based.

I've also been trained extensively and worked a lot with children and adolescents and their families.
I believe that each person has a unique self that must respected, recognized and understood. In order to find the right therapist I feel that there has to be a sense of connection and trust that develops over time. I try to help people understand how connections to their past and their fear of the future and of change keeps them trapped in cycles of behavior amd relationships that hinder their chances for a more fulfilling life and following their goals and dreams. I can work with anyone who attempts this experience of working together and exploring their life issues.

I treat adults and couples, but I also specialize in seeing children and adolescents.
When seeing a new patient I am always mindful of the value of listening and communication. I am always mindful of ways of interpreting deeper understanding, but it begins with the building of a relationship between the two people in the room. By allowing this to develop I am able to assist in finding resolutions to symptoms and patterns that are emotionally painful and stubbornly have not gone away. My ideal client is one who is at least curious about making a commitment to change. I will attempt to do my part. I do use video and teletherapy for new and established patients.
