Hi. I utilize the therapeutic process to help recognize and challenge beliefs that result in unhealthy emotions and behaviors. Through integrative therapies including CBT, Art therapy, and mindfulness, we will work to set goals, as well as embrace the process and journey in our every days lives. I like to think outside the box and use creative thinking including metaphors and Art in helping my clients problem solve. We can’t solve tomorrows issues with todays information. I stress the importance of being present, we CAN handle anything in the moment, but cannot change what happened in our past, or control what happens in our future.

I’m a licensed Creative Arts therapist, certified in REBT, CBT, & behavior modification therapies. I’ve worked in both inpatient & outpatient settings, schools, & private practices. I conduct group, family, & individual therapies. Together with my clients, I work to identify obstacles that cause conflict, as well as hinder growth, joy & a sense of well being

We are so much stronger than our fears and negative thoughts. We all have goals, which are important. But the HOW TO attain them is the real important part. That’s where I come in. We all get stuck, but that’s only temporary, we can all become unstuck and grow.

Together with my clients, I strive to identify obstacles that cause conflict, as well as hinder growth, joy, and a sense of well being in their day to day lives. I utilize the therapeutic process to help recognize and challenge beliefs that often result in unhealthy emotions and behaviors.

Through integrative therapies, including traditional talk therapy, Art therapy, and mindfulness practices, we will work to confront fears and negative thoughts, focus on being present, defining and attaining small and larger goals, all while appreciating the process and journey of our everyday lives.
