Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I believe we all possess inside ourselves the potential for deep healing. I approach the therapeutic process as a profound journey the client embarks on, where I accompany them as a nurturing guide. As a knowledgeable companion I am not the source of your healing, but rather a caring professional pointing the way to the well of the your own internal source. I have a solid, seasoned background in counseling adults, teens, children and families. I find it valuable to provide brief or long term therapeutic support, while helping you develop a very practical understanding with tools to take outside the office!
I am experienced in Jungian Sandplay, which is a powerful non-verbal approach to transformation for children, youth and Adults. Although readily engaged in by children, Adults can experience profound healing if they are willing to embark on this journey. Some individuals only make a few trays over months, that continue to work deeply in their psyche for months and years later. Carl Jung said, "The mind knows a riddle, that only the hands can solve." One of his students was the pioneer of Sandplay therapy. This modality allows the participant to access his/her unconscious via the body (the hands).The psyche will only allow that which the client can safely explore.
