“Hope” is the thing with feathers--

That perches in the soul--

And sings the tune without the words--

And never stops--at all--

Hope begins the journey for each of us to become the person we want to be. With unconditional positive regard and someone who listens, we naturally gravitate to feel comfort in who we are. We can move toward health, self-discovery, and compassion for ourselves and others. I’m passionate about being a part of a person’s journey, focusing on their strengths and resilience. For instance, if a person becomes comfortable in their body, healing and growth can begin. I like to work with all ages. For instance, I practice Theraplay, a modality that fosters a positive, warm, relationship between a parent/caregiver and a child. Each person can learn to regulate emotions, and improve communication. I also practice Jungian Sand Tray Therapy and Brainspotting, in addition to various forms of talk therapy. I support people who want to use art, writing, dance, and yoga in their healing process. Everyone is worthy of being heard and accepted for who they are, and who they want to be. I’m passionate about watching people become their genuine selves. Contact me if you’d like a free consultation.

I believe that everyone deserves to be happy, and that everyone possesses qualities that make them special and unique. So my treatments focus on your strengths.

You are an expert in your life and experience, and so as a team we can help you with your struggles, large or small. I help all ages, using just about every technique listed above. I usually practice Compassion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. For example, once we find and understand why we did not make a positive choice, we can focus on trying to do better the next time, rather than blaming ourselves.
