For 21 years I have been working with children, families, adolescents, and adults experiencing challenges being the best version of themselves, achieving their goals, and living out their values as effectively as they desire. I began my career assisting those experiencing a mental health crisis, then focused on working with families using play and sand tray therapies, cognitive behavioral techniques, art therapy, and Theraplay. I added addiction recovery maintenance due to the numerous families affected by substance and behavioral addictions with Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. To expand these services, I became the Clinical Director of an Infant and Early Childhood department. My career then transitioned to the world of families involved with Family Court who often have legal and co-parenting challenges to consider. Life is often complex. As a social species, we were never meant to face life's challenges independently. I have faith in the resilience and capability of every individual. Sometimes we need a neutral sounding board to help us find it within ourselves.
