My Approach to Helping
Imagine living a life authentically, joyfully, and free from overwhelming shame or anxiety. You may be wanting to make healthier choices in your life or relationships. As a seasoned professional with 15 years experience, I can help. Therapy is a process in which we examine the hidden facets of ourselves and how they play out in our everyday life. I offer a safe environment and an eclectic array of modalities individually tailored to help you feel more connected with loved ones, more empowered in life and more in control of emotions.

I work best with individuals willing to examine the deeper levels behind their distress. Along with more traditional approaches, I also use mindfulness techniques, dream analysis, the expressive arts, and somatic work to help you discover your fullest potential and live the life that you are meant to live.

I am also effective with blended families, teenagers and children (as young as 4 years old). Play, sand-tray, art, and filial therapies can bring out the best in your child or teen. This is a place for you to be heard fully. Call for your appointment today at 760-815-5826.
