I believe that metaphor is the carrier of deep truths about the self, and the door to meaning and growth. As a therapist, I listen for metaphor in verbal and non-verbal interactions with clients. I was trained in Expressive Therapy and also use a developmental approach. I base all of my work with children, teens, families, and adults in a firm grounding in normal development, taking into account developmental stages as I look at issues and problems presented. Helping clients identify and clarify their own belief or value systems is an important skill. I work in both verbal and non-verbal modalities, using arts modalities as points of contact for psychotherapy. I am a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor and have a passion for sand tray therapy. I work with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Disability, survivors of trauma, children and families. I am honored to work with men on issues of identity, role, orientation, relationship skills and fathering. Working with parents and with families is another passion.I am an ordained clergy person in The Episcopal Church with training as an Interfaith Chaplain and can work with clients on authentic spirituality.
