Introduction

I am here to support you in Living Your Best Life. I can help you navigate challenges and discover your path forward. I believe we all know how to heal ourselves. My role is to guide you in this process. Life presents difficult challenges which can feel painful and overwhelming. But... if you are ready to "Be All In" and do the work to heal and move on... if you are interested in therapy sessions that include more than talking... if you'd like to explore some creative, intuitive, life-giving practices towards healing... if you want to not just survive, but thrive and find the joy in life... Please contact me for a consultation. If you'd like more info. here's more about my work: My evidence-based treatment methods are both verbal (IFS or Internal Family Systems) and non-verbal (Creative Art and Sandplay Therapy). As the language of children is play, I work with children using Play Therapy. I enjoy working with women and men of all ages as well as children, teens and collegiates (and supporting parents). It is important to remember that true healing can only come through accessing emotions and experiences that trauma often buries within us. Words, memories, and verbal expressions of feelings are often inaccessible after trauma. Treatment methods that don't rely on just talk & analysis are often most effective for safely working through trauma to deeper healing and wholeness. I specialize in working with Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse. I also have experience in issues related to child custody, divorce, trauma, breast cancer, depression, and grief. My experience includes 15 years working in our schools with children and young adults (preschool through college). I focused on issues related to: self-esteem, body image, self-harm, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and Prevention. I offer parents guidance in navigating the Special Education System in our schools and colleges, to assure students receive special accommodations and services if needed. I provide Clinical Supervision for AMFT and ACSW candidates, and for Graduate students in accredited Universites.
