An integrative perspective, utilizing a blend of both eastern and western philosophy/modalities, guides my work. Using art as therapy with mindfulness and body-centered practices (i.e. EMDR, Somatic Experiencing), allows clients to engage on all levels, body, mind, and spirit. my approach is warm gentle, and compassionate, as well as informative, direct and practical. I work with each person as an individual creating a therapeutic environment that is unique to that person's needs. The office setting is comfortable and inviting. My clients' report that our work together allows them to connect more deeply to themselves and others, to communicate their thoughts and feelings more effectively and clearly with others, to find more stability and joy in their lives through the reduction of negative effects, such as accute and chronic anxiety and depression, and to experience greater self-worth and self-confidence.
