STEP FORWARD INTO GROWTH

“THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD IS GETTING STARTED ”

ABOUT

ABOUT ME

MY PHILOSOPHY

My work consists of a collaborative exploration of your needs and hopes in a supportive and culturally sensitive environment. Past and present life adversaries often shape the way we feel and interact. Examining our unhealthy patterns and incorporating our strengths in a trusting therapeutic relationship, can elicit experiences of personal growth, living a richer life and increasing our propensity for healthy and adaptive relationships.

​

I work well with a range of psychological needs and concerns; anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, self - esteem, life changing events and trauma are some of the areas that I welcome in our exploration. For more than 20 years I have provided dynamically oriented psychotherapy with extensive training in relational, interpersonal, attachment- based and trauma- focused therapy.

 

In addition to my clinical counseling degree, I am an experienced and licensed art therapist and can provide and incorporate art therapy into the treatment.

​

My training in clinical counseling and art therapy allows me to address and effectively treat complex mental, behavioral, and emotional issues using multiple modalities. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and parents. My practice centers around the attentive exploration and building of supportive and accepting relationship with each client.
