My goal is to create an environment that is safe to heal. One that each person can speak freely without fear of judgement or ridicule.I confront the core issues with warmth so that we can tackle each problem one-by-one. I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a "family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.

HABLO ESPAÑOL – Sometimes, life can feel tough, and you may doubt yourself even though you've worked hard to excel. It's normal to have these feelings occasionally, but if left unaddressed, they can become overwhelming. If you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma, it takes courage to seek help. I've been assisting individuals and families since 2007. I've also facilitated couples' groups, coached parents of children with special needs, and worked with adolescents and families on communication.

Hi, I'm Harley. I understand what it’s like to struggle with sleep, battle anxiety, and feel caught in shame spirals. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced childhood trauma. If you live with a harsh inner critic and find yourself triggered in everyday interactions, I want you to know you’re not alone. These feelings and actions are trauma responses, and with the right support, they can be transformed. It can feel isolating, lonely, and hopeless, but there is hope. Together, we can compassionately work to unlearn these responses and build a life that feels safer and more fulfilling.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
