Therapist

With over 45 years experience, clients consider me to be caring, direct, and engaging. Many things including stress both effect and are connected to your mental and physical health. Self care is very important and that will be a focus. People have some degree of trauma whether large or small which is a primary area of practice and experience for me. I utilize many tools including mindfulness, Brainspotting , Art and EMDR. I consider myself to be both empathetic, inquisitive and Intuitive. I currently only work with adults.
