Welcome
Most people begin their search for a therapist or counselor because they are struggling with some aspect of their life. My goal in working with clients is to offer respectful and caring therapeutic support through a challenging time.
In working with adults, I offer an individualized, solution-focused method of treatment. I believe that in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, clients can explore their current life challenges, as well as any long standing concerns, which may be interfering with their relationships and life choices. With each client, I work to address issues and build on strengths, so that clients can begin to reclaim the best part of themselves and their lives.
In my work with children and teens, I am glad to offer a unique set of clinical training and skills. As an art and play therapist, I bring an expressive and holistic approach to this area of my practice. My large, sunny art and play room offers many opportunities for children and teens to talk and express themselves in this highly interactive child-centered method. Research supports the inclusion of sensory experiences help children of all ages learn, process and heal.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a brain based intervention I began using in my practice several years ago. I have found EMDR to be an extremely effective and efficient approach in making positive cognitive shifts and in integrating significant life challenges and losses. This method is also available in my work with children through a child friendly version of the EMDR protocol.
