About Me
Working from a strength-based approach to meet you where you are, I feel that the therapeutic relationship is sacred. Each person, family or group is different with different needs. It is through my life experience, training, and education that I am able to work creatively with you to meet your needs and goals. I provide therapeutic services to groups, individuals of all ages, families and couples, and have extensive experience working with individuals and families struggling with addiction. As an Art Therapist and Psychotherapist I believe in healing through creativity and that creativity is an everyday life force. Using this in my work with those I serve, I have found that people are able to access creativity not only in creative expression but also in discovering choices they did not know they had. A 20 year background in management and technology including time on Wall Street, in addition to several years in arts management before 15+ years as a therapist, provides me with a breadth of understanding, a broad range of skills, and the depth of knowledge to offer guidance and support in your own journey toward healing. I do this work with the belief that people who come for therapy have what they need inside themselves, and my job is to help them connect, reconnect, or discover the strengths necessary to have the lives they want.
