In a blink of an eye, you're now a parent of a tween/teen(s). Your child has become w/drawn, negative, loss of interest & enjoyment of activities they once enjoyed. There's a change in their sleep, eating habits, doing poorly in school, isolating from friends and family, showing risky or harmful behaviors, even possible suicide thoughts. Your child shares with you that they feel depressed, anxious and don’t want to go to school. You try asking them what’s wrong, just to be yelled, “nothing, you wouldn’t even understand. You turn to your partner for support just to find yourself feeling angry, emotionally overwhelmed, invalidated.

Should you ever encounter a therapist that tells you they have the answers for you . . . Run Away!!!

What I can offer is years of experience with creating safety and warmth for those who have difficulty finding those environments. I have a genuine affection, curiosity, and appreciation for the rich and inspiring life stories that clients share with me.

Living a conscious life is a daily practice and requires work that can be uncomfortable. My ability to incorporate playfulness into this deep work is one of my strengths that can help soften the journey. I believe that you already have the tools for personal growth, but due to trauma or conditioning, you may be unaware of your internal resources. Some of these internal resources, which I call tools, include values, worthiness, and the courage to set boundaries. These tools play a major role in your emotional health, confidence, and functional relationships. Helping you find these tools is my passion and my calling.

Based on my 25 years of experience, I usually recommend a holistic and objective assessment of the problems as part of the solution. These assessments include understanding, first and foremost, the needs of the individual. These can include anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer issues, family problems, stress, and many other things. I treasure the insight the individuals bring to the conversation with their questions, concerns, observations, and overall experiences. I bring these understandings to my therapy sessions and welcome those involved with the individual to lead the individual towards a more passionate, kind, fulfilling life.

I get it! On the outside, you seem fine. You’re balancing everything life throws at you...but there are times when you’re overwhelmed. You feel like whatever you do, it doesn’t seem to be “enough." It doesn't have to be this way. I help people struggling with anxiety, people pleasing, perfectionism, and indecision learn healthy patterns of coping and boundaries so they feel confident, joyful, and ready to enjoy life again. Often talk therapy consists of clients venting to their therapists week after week, and gets you nowhere. Instead I offer clear guidance to help you understand yourself and change old patterns into healthy living.

I love working with couples and families of all types. Our relationships are the foundation of our lives and when there is a problem it often impacts everything. Problems often become noticeable during times of change (such as having children, moving or a job change) and can build up over time until they break the relationship. Couples often report having problems with communication, conflict management, intimacy, boundaries, parenting, and finances. Couples want to feel heard, understood, respected, connected, safe, and loved. They want to feel like their values and needs are honored in the relationship and they want to be a team.

Experiential Therapy

How does experiential therapy work?

Experiential therapy works by allowing an individual to use their creativity to re-imagine themselves and their lives in an effort to process their emotions. Experiential therapy may take many forms, including engaging clients through art, re-enactments, role-playing, music, or forms of physical recreation. By focusing on these activities, experiential therapists help individuals identify the emotions they associate with previous experiences and work together to cope with negative reactions, like fear, anger, or shame.

Is experiential therapy evidence-based?

Experiential therapy incorporates many therapy modalities, some of which have been more closely researched than others. Music therapy, for example, has been shown to help with sleep problems. Some studies find that art therapy can be beneficial for those with eating disorders or personality disorders, while other research suggests that such approaches have little impact.

How long does experiential therapy last?

The duration of experiential therapy will depend on the type of therapy used as well as the severity of the challenges an individual faces. Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Art therapy may comprise 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly or on an as-needed basis. For each therapy type, clients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

Does experiential therapy help with trauma?

Trauma is one area where experiential therapy may be useful. Traumatic experiences such as combat or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating visual art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. Listening to music can be relaxing, while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, or who have been physically or emotionally abused.
