My experience includes working with a wide range of ages from children through older adults and providing care for children affected by divorce.
Building on my 20 years of professional work as a graphic designer and artist, I now apply these skills in my counseling work which includes an emphasis on art therapy techniques. Art therapy is grounded in the knowledge base of human development, psychological theory, and counseling techniques: it is not a series of art lessons. Techniques used within art therapy work to improve cognitive and sensory-motor functioning, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, and reduce and resolve conflicts and distress.

Lebanon, PA 17042
I work with school-aged children (approximately 7 years of age and older) and their parents, adolescents, young adults and beyond.
My approach to treatment is based in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. I work to help you identify feelings that have an impact on your behaviors and attitudes. By identifying this string of thoughts, feelings and actions, we can work together to make changes that bring about positive outcomes in your life. At times, making changes can be difficult. Techniques of Motivational Interviewing are useful when struggling to determine what changes would be the most beneficial. I approach every session with a trauma informed attitude so events that leave an emotional imprint can be effectively explored.
