About My Clients

My ideal client is anyone who struggles with stress or anxiety; has a trauma history or current trauma, or current trauma; or trouble in their relationship(s). I am a Certified Anxiety and Trauma Treatment specialist.

My Background and Approach

I have a deep understanding of anxiety, trauma and relationship issues, drawn from my personal experiences. I enjoy drawing children & adolescents in with play & art therapy. These creative approaches help them to express themselves & foster a strong therapeutic bond between us. I guide couples to move from distress, distance, or contention to a place of renewed closeness & intimacy. Contact me if you are seeking a compassionate guide on your journey towards personal growth, emotional well-being & improved relationships. Let’s work together to bring positive changes into your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. One of the reasons we develop mental health issues is because we engage in unhealthy thought & behavioral patterns that we have picked up along the way which are not healthy and often cause further problems. We can learn ways to replace the unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with healthy ones. Contact me today if you want to hear more about how I can help you!
