About Me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Art Therapist. I received my Masters Degree in Psychology at Phillips Graduate Institute. I utilize Embodiment & Somatic Awareness, Guided Imagery, Body/ Brain Approaches Expressive Art Therapy to address trauma, grief and loss and relationship issues. I work with for Adults and Couples. I work well with men and women in recovery from Substance Abuse issues.
My Approach
I have an integrative and systemic approach, focusing on how family and community systems shape a person’s life. I help clients understand these influences while also addressing unresolved past and present experiences. This offers a grounded path toward healing. It is important to teach how the body-brain connection fosters safety, self-esteem, and emotional relief. Healing trauma requires building a foundation of safety and settling to proceed. This is a powerful way to guide people toward wholeness. I work with people with current stressors that often need only skill building for stress reduction and new ways to think about the issue.
