My Approach to Helping

I offer therapy to everyone in your family. This can be individual sessions with you, child-parent sessions, or individual sessions with your children. For adults, we'll work on practical improvement of mental health symptoms as well as deep self-inquiry and growth. I offer a cozy seating area for adults inside my play-room office. Don't be surprised by the toys! For children, I practice play therapy - using their natural language of art and play to explore their inner world and uncover unresolved experiences and emotions. I work from a family systems lens, knowing we are all impacted by those around us. I draw on child development and attachment theories to build emotional and behavioral skills that reduce conflict and stress, and set children up for long term healthier relationships and fulfilling lives. My goal is for you and your family to find more ease and authenticity in your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

--You are good: I believe each of us has essential innate wholeness and wellness. We'll work on accessing more of yours by discovering and untangling the patterns in your life that cause you suffering. -- You deserve love: I believe our relationships give us meaning in our lives. Together we can explore what is keeping you disconnected from yourself and others. We'll work toward greater self esteem and connection. -- You can grow: I believe that change starts with awareness and acceptance, is strengthened by cultivation of internal resources, and can be achieved with gentle practice.
