My Approach to Helping

I believe you have the best answers to the questions and dilemmas you are facing. The problem is those answers often reside just out of sight. I use both traditional and creative therapy approaches to help you uncover those answers when thinking your way through just isn't working.

Creative approaches I use include sand tray for expressive story telling through image and metaphor, automatic writing, journaling and symbolic imagery. Sand tray work has become a favorite part of my practice. It is a wonderful way to work through issues when words are just not adequate. It is appropriate for both adults and children.

I will work collaboratively with you to create treatment goals that fit your unique needs. I value a sense of humor, even in therapy and believe in the healing power of laughter as well as tears.
