Facing difficulties in life can seem overwhelming, seeking therapy is a courageous first step in your journey for emotional wellness. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, certified in EMDR, I work from a client centered, strength based methodology to address personal life challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach, assisting clients find meaning from their struggle and create a path towards healing. I have found the benefit of integrating Art Therapy within the counseling relationship makes it possible to express what sometimes might be difficult or impossible to communicate with words. My twenty-plus years of work experience has served adult, adolescent and children in various therapeutic settings. I specialize in people living with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, complex medical issues and relationship challenges. I believe the foundation of an effective experience in therapy lies in the establishment of a trusting relationship where the client feels safe to explore their internal emotional dialogue and decide what changes they want and need to make. My goal as a therapist is to help you attain the personal growth you desire.
