When working with my clients, it's critical that we develop a trusting relationship through which we can explore their experience. Then by helping the client to increase their own awareness and understanding of the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, the client is given the tools and skills necessary to manage their emotions and behaviors more effectively, resolve personal issues, and increase the quality of their relationships with the people who are most important to them.

You have this intense void inside of you and nothing can fulfil it. Your better half that was once a match made in heaven became your worst enemy. You feel like you are stuck in a Groundhog Day where somebody else has pressed repeat: shuffling kids from an activity to another, endless nights spent on job demands, exhausted has become your middle name. You have been trying so hard to cope: God knows how many self help books, meditation practices, yoga classes, self-medicating with alcohol, adult sites you have been trying! Yet nothing seems to work and you find yourself feeling stuck.

Creative expression allows the unspeakable to be spoken. Do words sometimes fail you and you feel rather than addressing them to not even acknowledge them at all? Are you struggling with self-value or navigating the transitions of life? My goal is to assist the clients I work with in discovering their voice and empowering them to use it. This is achieved through identifying strengths, goal setting, and challenging adverse thoughts.

While it is common to feel "unraveled" when daily stressors or various traumas occur, everyone has the ability to find meaningful solutions. I believe that everyone is unique, so the solution will be different for each person. My desire is to assist clients (ages 10-90), including adolescents, adults and couples, find a balance between a healthy need for relationship and possible psychological, social or spiritual factors within a framework of personal responsibility. After teaching English and Art for 23 years, I experienced the power of expressive arts to unlock inner voices that help students/clients achieve hope and confidence.

You may be thinking, “oh, forget it, I just can’t make that decision right now.” Or, “I don’t want to sit for an hour and cry while I tell a total stranger my life’s story.” Or, “what if someone finds out that I’m not perfect.

You are stuck in an emotional hole you can't seem to get out of. You are moody, easily irritated, and annoyed. At times you are also sad, frustrated and angry. You might be going through a tough transition or simply don't know where all of these feelings are coming from. You are a perfectionist, lack boundaries, and simply exhausted with overall expectations. You are suppressing and numbing unwanted feelings, traumatic memories, and/or childhood trauma. You know that you want to feel better but don't know where to start. You are tired of feeling this way and you are ready to start feeling better.
