I often work with people who grapple with hard questions to which there is no one "right" answer. I offer a non-judegmental atmosphere in which each person can seek his or her own answers. Therapy is a co-creation. I work with each person to find what "speaks" to him / her. That may include talking, mindfulness practices, or creative arts therapies. Using these methods accesses parts of the brain that can't be reached through words alone, and puts people in the flow of their wisdom and creativity, from which solutions to problems can emerge. I feel especially attuned to issues of grief, trauma, depression, and the spiritual seeking that often follows those experiences. As a family caregiver, I understand the joys and frustrations of being a caregiver. Finally, I am energized by working with people who want to end a cycle of abuse. Prior to moving into private practice, I worked as a clinical supervisor. I have been practicing therapy for over 10 years. I start with the person's strengths, and move at the individual's pace, offering "user friendly" information along the way.
