I received my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, and have over 20 years experience in this field. I believe strongly in personal empowerment,and my practice is based on the belief that my role is to serve as a guide to assist you in removing blocks that may be preventing you from experiencing your highest potential. I am experienced with mindfulness training, interested in Buddhist psychology, and have experience working with trauma and abuse survivors, issues pertaining to sexuality and sexual identity, couples and group counseling, personal identity issues, bereavement support, life transitions, depression,and anxiety using a variety of methods and techniques to aid in your support including Hakomi Method. I am also a Reiki Master and have extensive experience using Reiki in conjunction with psychotherapy.

I have practiced with a wide variety of populations and modalities of therapy over the past five years. My clientele has ranged from children(ages 4-17), adults, juveniles coming out of the court system returning to their families, couples, families, and both adult and adolescent substance abusers.

The therapy process can help you to develop a deeper connection to your true feelings, more authentic communication, healthier and more satisfying relationships, a clearer path through life, and an increased sense of being more "yourself". I take an eclectic approach, using talk therapy, play, insight into family relationships, and exploring beliefs developed in childhood and how they influence your current patterns and choices.

My primary goal as a therapist is to guide each person towards a deeper understanding of themselves and to help them to be able to integrate their life experiences. At times, short term therapy is the right choice. For some, recovery is a life-long process of resolving one’s thoughts and feelings which can be overwhelming without the proper tools and/or support. I try to give my clients those tools and help them have the ability to maintain their emotional toolset and balance in their lives. I have many years of experience directly working with individuals, groups, and families. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Art Therapist. I received my Master’s degree from Naropa University where I studied Transpersonal Psychology with a concentration in Art Therapy. Specialties: Adolescence, Postpartum support, Depression etc.
