Your own curiosity and innate wisdom will be the guiding voice.
I value a collaborative approach with folx of all ages, embracing the nuances of play therapy with a deep appreciation for the conversations with adolescents and adults. My background in music and mindfulness-based practices inspires me to work creatively with you allowing space for your experience to unfold naturally, without judgement or agenda.
My belief is that the relationship formed with my patients within their sessions helps to strengthen the relationship they have with themselves.
Our work together might include:
-
Synergetic Play Therapy

EMDR Therapy
-
Teen Psychotherapy

Adult Psychotherapy

Group Therapy

Ways to integrate your hopes, dreams, and desires into your life moving forward
While grief is often what initiates my work with patients, it can also be the opening to further personal exploration and curiosity. I welcome and value long term work with patients who have the desire to continue exploring how family dynamics, interpersonal relationships, and past traumas impact how they choose to move forward in their healing.
I invite you to reach out to discuss how I might work with you or your child.
