Sometimes words fail and we need a way to express ourselves and the issues present. Art is an avenue to the self and creative expression is a means to cultivate self-awareness and provides space to represent issues being brought up in therapy. To be willing to be uncomfortable and explore a form of expression that we may not have done since childhood, takes bravery and openness. This may be a new way to look at life and understand how we are dealing with it. Unfolding with gentleness we seek the truth of our own being and how we want to face life in the here and now.

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life. If you've experienced trauma you could be struggling with flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and difficulty moving forward in you life. Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.

Hi there! I became a therapist out of a passion for personal development and a fascination with how the mind works, especially in children and teens. I believe that therapy should be accessible and engaging, which is why I offer in-home therapy for children ages 5-10. I also offer telehealth therapy for ages 11 to 17, allowing older kids and teens to get the help they need from the comfort of their home. I specialize in play therapy, particularly client-centered play therapy, along with CBT. I utilize DBT and narrative therapy techniques as well.
