Connection is everything! I hope my office can be a place of warmth, safety and connection where healing can occur. So my personal and professional goal is honor you right where you are, establish an environment where a co-creation of meaningful relationship between us can take root and where trauma, shame, and unwanted behaviors can be held, explored and healed.

Play & Creative Therapies
While I don't provide play therapy anymore, I do believe understanding the impacts and healing the needs of children is critical in working with families. So I still bring some creative and playful tools into the counseling session. We as adults still need to be able to access our playfulness. Many of us were never emotionally free to play. Being able to access that part of ourself represents greater wholeness.
