“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” - Leonard Cohen

I believe in the healing power of human connection within the therapeutic relationship, in which counselor and client come together to face life’s challenges. Each counseling relationship is unique, just as you and your experiences in the world are unique to you. I will work with you to develop new strategies for facing the challenges of life, to build self-awareness, and to find direction, meaning and purpose. 

Two of the modalities for fostering growth and healing that I am passionate about are EMDR therapy and the expressive arts therapy. EMDR therapy is a modality which alleviates distress associated traumatic or disturbing memories and can help you to move past limiting beliefs about yourself. (You can learn more about EMDR at http://emdria.org.) Expressive arts therapy activities allow you to explore your emotions, beliefs, and life experiences through different pathways in the brain by creating or responding to visual art, music, and movement. 

I have had the privilege of helping clients with a wide range of issues, from difficulty adjusting to life transitions, the “quarter-life crisis,” depression, anxiety, substance abuse, dissociation, and trauma.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our menagerie of cats and dogs. We like trying new foods, attending live music events, playing with Legos, and date nights at Half Price Books.
