My Approach to Helping

I believe that we all have the tools that we need in order to succeed in face of any of life's challenges, however, sometimes we need some help finding access to these tools. My focus in therapy is on what is POSSIBLE in life and in our relationships with others and on working to eliminate the barriers that stand between us and what we want to achieve in life. I especially love working with children, families, and with relationship issues and enjoy using a variety of techniques including expressive arts therapies and play therapies. I believe that issues caused by our life transitions do not exist in a vacuum and as such, a big part of my approach to helping people is to help them reconnect in the relationships they have and to establish a new sense of community and family.
