As an artist, I understand what it can be like to have creative blocks or feelings of disconnection from your spiritual path. My practice is focused on people who have lost their direction in life, and hope to regain a sense of Self at a deep Soul level. Past or present trauma may be the source of these challenges, showing up as anxiety, depression, grief, anger or hurt. You may have a negative view of yourself, and this can impact your creativity & relationships. Many times, these feelings originated in childhood. I am certified in EMDR, and approach therapy holistically to honor your mind, body, spirit, emotions, & relationships.

I believe the area that I am best suited in treating is the addictive mind. Assisting in changing the way that you perceive problems and engaging you in the importance and meaning of what you are experiencing. Making meaning of our suffering and losses is most important. I view most issues presented by my clients as traumatic, accompanied with shock, struggling to make sense of what is happening. Whether it be a divorce, a death, or a change of circumstance we are required to 'change'. Developing flexabilty, humor and courage for life is my goal in our work.

When you are suffering, personally, within your family or in a relationship, I offer therapy that goes beyond just talking about the past. I use an educational and directive Mind/Body/Spirit approach that assesses your current life situation, formulates new goals and gives you tools to use every day. I make therapy comfortable, positive and aim to get results as quickly as possible. I see myself as an active facilitator in a joint process, not an expert-patient relationship. I believe that everyone intrinsically knows what they need, it's my job to assist you on that journey.

I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to overcome life's obstacles. My clients want to learn how to approach these obstacles and apply their new skills as problems arise; this allows my clients to feel confident in making positive, lasting changes in their lives. I often work with individuals, both adults and adolescents, who want to learn how to be more mindful in their lives and want help "getting out of their heads so to speak." My clients often want to re-establish their inner strength and learn how to better problem-solve in order to improve their lives.

Healing, recovery and growth depend on experiencing ourselves, others and life challenges in a new and healthier way. Change is an action. When we do things differently, our lives change. Therapy is a process of understanding the roots of our patterns and learning to respond to life in new and healthier ways. Awareness comes first, then action comes next. It is the action that allows us to take our lives in a direction that is more connected to our true selves. It takes tremendous courage to embark on that journey, but the reward of a fulfilling life and healthy, happy relationships are worth the time and effort invested.

You don't have to do it alone. We can do it together. There is significant strength in seeking support and guidance when you need it.

I enjoy working on women's and men's issues in my clinical practice.
Are you tired of "being sick and tired"? Do you need to break unhealthy habits? It is time to take control. Deal with the issues that cause you to feel depressed, anxious, angry and stuck in unhealthy relationships. Stop blaming others, beating yourself up and sabotaging yourself. Stop feeling guilty and recalling mistakes you have made. Love yourself and be the best person you can be. Improve your self-confidence, your self -esteem and your relationships. It is time for you to decide " What do you want to do with your life"? You can be transformed and re-newed.

I am passionate about helping clients to achieve emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. I believe that wellness exists on a continuum, and achieving optimal health involves working with clients to develop treatment plans that integrate relevant cultural, social, physical, and psychological factors. As a clinical health psychologist, I often work with clients who have chronic illness and am comfortable collaborating with my clients' physicians, when it is appropriate.
