I believe life is a journey and we are all looking for something; happiness, peace of mind, fulfillment, growth. I think of myself as the guide on your journey, but I believe that you have the power, the wisdom, and the strength to find your own way to get where you want to go. Thoreau said, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, and live the life you have imagined in quiet hours." It is my intention to help you imagine the life you want and to make the necessary changes you need to pursue your dreams. I use a variety of evidenced based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Play Therapy for children. I encourage my clients to use journaling, drawing, painting, and music and I encourage self care including exercise and nutrition, yoga and massage. I teach clients relaxation techniques, creative visualization, and progressive muscle relaxation for management of anxiety and stress. I enjoy working with people of all ages, sexual orientations, races, and backgrounds. I firmly believe in protecting your confidentiality and I treat all clients with the respect and dignity they deserve.
