In my work with adults, children, and families I view psychotherapy as a calling as well as a profession, an art as well as a science, and an inherently spiritual endeavor for both therapist and client. A foundational belief of my practice is that all people hold healing and creative potential within themselves. My goal is to create a respectful and encouraging environment in which clients can discover and maximize their strengths. I work as a collaborative partner to promote self-empowerment and life enrichment through increased awareness and skills development, helping my clients work through difficult problems, relationship issues, and life transitions. I enjoy using dream work and storytelling in my practice. In addition, I have developed a process to help clients create an internal sense of self-compassion, am a published author on the topic of emotional abuse, and have created programs on topics such as Loving Oneself, Honoring Feelings, Self-Advocacy and Anger Management. I approach children with the same respect I give adults, providing an atmosphere of emotional safety and receptivity that honors children's way of expressing their unique view of themselves, their important others, and the world around them. I work collaboratively with parents creating effective ways of responding to children who are experiencing difficult challenges.
