Life difficulties can be challenging - but very positive outcomes can come from facing them. Transformation and healing truly do happen. They come from new experiences and insights, and getting support to try new behaviors in a supportive context. The wholeness of you is capable, unafraid, dynamic and alive - as you get more deeply in touch with your wholeness, things move. Compassion, understanding, and new growth arise.

I hold a strong, gentle safe space where you can collect yourself and in that, I help you find clarity with what's happening. This dissolves obstacles - sometimes quickly. Specialties: depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, men's issues, couples . Come for a free first session with no obligation to see if working with me is a good fit.

During our work together you will gain a broader awareness of yourself and your life and your ability and confidence to handle future struggles will grow. I practice from an integrative perspective and can adapt my approach to fit your needs; however, I always work toward the above goals since obstacles are inevitable for everyone, but the possibilities are limitless for how we may handle them. Some of my specialties include: fear & anxiety, grief & loss, relationships, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, multicultural & LGBTQ concerns, and chronic pain. However, whatever the primary concern may be, we can work together to explore its relationship to the rest of your experiences and uncover your own inherent path toward health and wholeness.

As an artist and therapist I strive to provide a space that is creative but also safe for clients to explore emotions and challenges. Often unexpressed emotions are at the heart of symptoms and behaviors.Through creative expression art can allow movement and openings for healing and growth to occur. I specialize in children and families but I am open to work with any individuals that wish to explore transitions through art.
