Great to meet you!

Changing your thinking changes your world. And as life presents welcomed and difficult challenges, our thought processes can propel us forward or hinder our potential, causing distress. By developing new life skills and healthy thought patterns, we become the positive change we seek. My military upbringing and multifaceted careers (professor, visual artist, psychotherapy) provided many changes in my life, laying the clinical groundwork and life perspective to guide your personal transformation.

A bit about my approach to therapy

How successfully we adapt to change is key to our mental health. Learning how to do this in an empathic space is where we begin your therapeutic journey! My integrative clinical approach involves trauma informed traditional talk therapy, art therapy and military counseling. Through humor, psychoeducation, self work assignments and artmaking, you'll improve insight, learn healthy coping skills and establish a self-care practice for long-term success, growth and resilience.

What you can expect from our first session

A Chinese proverb says, "become friends with change." I believe the therapeutic process is a two-way street; it involves sincere investment from both client and therapist, one session at a time. Implementing what you learn is more about consistency and not perfection. Small steps create a path to a better, stronger you!
