After 30 years of practice I still love what I do. My work is personal--only I answer calls, make appointments, greet you at the door. I want to know who you are, how I can help, what we can accomplish together. My response to you is always original and addresses your unique pain. I am trained in several theoretical models and I use them to guide my practice, but your personal struggle is the focus of our work together. You can come alone or with your partner, child, or family.

Art therapy is an integrative mental health profession that combines the visual and verbal to help people foster insight, experience healing, and create meaningful change. Art therapy is not reserved for professional artists; but is accessible to meet you where ever you are at.

Exploring female experiences across the lifespan brings a perspective that is often overlooked or down-played.
Feeling overwhelmed, confused, stressed, lost? Yearn to connect with life, yet, often become stuck? Navigating through life disconnections - with our spirit, families, partners, friends, work - can be exhausting and overwhelming. You have already tried going to your life "toolbox" (faith, family, friends, chocolate...). Together we can explore feelings, figure out how our own inner stories are actually adding to our stress, reconnect with our inner power to experience love, acceptance, and be our authentic self. Asking "How am I ever going to figure out..." is a good starting place. I can walk with you as we try to figure it out.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
