Aside from the traditional talk therapy, I will also use CBT approaches, as well as play, sandtray, and art therapy with the kids and adolescents, which will allow the kids to communicate in a way that feels more comfortable and less anxiety-producing for them.
I am of the belief that every person is the expert on their own self. Sometimes we just need a sounding board. I recognize that therapy can be a scary and daunting process and I am here to provide a safe and welcoming space to help make you comfortable expressing your emotions. I recognize that each person is a unique individual, with a unique set of goals and needs from therapy. I work to meet you where you are, taking the time to understand your needs, and happily walk alongside you on your journey to reach those needs.

Everyone needs somebody to lean on. But what happens when the pressure is too much or goes unnoticed? I see it, I acknowledge the weight and sacrifice. A lot of the time, I believe, humans just need a little validation; a reminder that they matter and their efforts mean something. I've seen that the people with the biggest hearts suffer the most, out of protection for others and unfortunately put their quality of life on the backburner. I remind my clients of the beauty of their own heart, their innate potential, and the power of self worth. We have one life to live, why not truly live it.

Immediate in person or telehealth available. Teenagers, Couples, Adults, TraumaWhen you feel you can’t achieve anything, your first reaction is to stay away from people. Then it becomes worse, goals you had before become impossible and the idea of loved ones could do better without you start to surface. Your mind tells you that the situation is hopeless and you are worthless. You drift to past experiences where you cringe physically and are filled with regret. Life becomes extremely boring due to you letting your fear control your life. Meeting new people and having new experiences doesn’t happen. You think you’re better off alone.

One of the hardest decisions in life is to seek help. We all encounter challenges and/or disadvantages at some point, and it is easy to feel discouraged and criticize yourself in this process. Although these difficulties can affect you in profound ways, I believe that they are also opportunities to learn about your inner world and reflect upon what is working and what is not. This journey is quite exhausting for one person, so I aim to become a part of your support system. I hope to empower each individual to make personal choices that will allow them to discover confidence, direction, happiness, peace, and healing.

Children and adolescents often struggle with the same difficult feelings and emotions that adults do, but they have limited ways of expressing themselves. Similarly, parents can find themselves at a loss to reach their child, often leading to stress, anxiety, and disconnection. I have spent years working with children, teens, and their families in order to create healthy coping skills and foster healing, growth, and connection. I am passionate about helping children reach their full potential in a safe environment to explore their thoughts and feelings and develop necessary skills to thrive.

In a hectic and unpredictable world, finding space to pause and submerge into one’s inner existence is a rarity. It can be difficult to allow ourselves this space until happenstances like grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and burnout pull the rug out from under us. All living things on this planet, humans included, are conditioned by their environment and genetics. Years of our life are spent implicitly being influenced by others and life experiences. Processing through how these influences and experiences have impacted us explicitly bring them to awareness.

You are a success at work, on your team, at school, and yet...you know you have potential for more. But you just can't seem to get the results you want, almost like you are "blocked," somehow. You've tried everything to get past this "block" from books to podcasts to Tik Tok reels, but you just haven't found the right solution for you.

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.
