I believe there is an inherent wisdom of mind and body that everyone has, but sometimes can get lost or forgotten. Are you feeling out of sync with yourself or in your relationships? Struggling with old choices and memories that keep coming up? Feeling like you know who you want to be, but just can't seem to make it happen? Are you noticing that stress from work, relationships, or finances is getting out of control? Is it time to get out of your head and back into your life? Have you been having trouble sleeping or feeling like you can never really relax?

Ruth believes that every person has the ability to grow towards health. With the support of a caring and strong therapist, clients are able to find the courage to look into their darkest places and find light. Symbol and metaphor are powerful tools to help move through this journey.

Ruth has found experiential therapies such as play therapy and wilderness therapy to be very effective.

Play Therapy is very effective in helping children ages 3-12 who experience a wide variety of issues.

• Social and Behavioral problems • Anxiety and Fears • Depression and Lack of Self Esteem • Physical and Sexual Abuse • Adoption and Foster Care • Trauma • Divorce or Separations • Transitions • PTSD

Ruth also works with adults and adolescents who struggle with these issues. Sessions can take place in her office or wilderness settings.

My approach is client-centered; meaning every person has a unique way of working toward wholeness and health and thus, no one form of therapy works for everyone. I enjoy utilizing a full-spectrum approach to help access one's unique and limitless inner wisdom to help increase awareness, to repair, reclaim, and nourish oneself, revealing the sacred brilliance that is innately alive already. I work with a variety of treatment modalities including mindfulness therapy, art therapy, poetry therapy, play therapy, and talk therapy, to help shine a light on what wants to be seen in order to promote health and meaning. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, major life transitions such as grief, loss, divorce, life purpose, and spiritual issues. I work with children, adolescents, women and groups.www.sacredspacepsychotherapy.com
