My clients come from various walks of life from very young (18 months) to very mature (90 years +). They bring with them concerns relating to past, present, and even anticipated future experiences. They learn skills with which they are able to more effectively deal with challenges that are interfering with their ability to effectively engage in daily life, with the ultimate goal of moving on with their lives beyond me. My background includes Music/Creative Arts Therapy, Therapeutic Massage, Therapeutic Foster Care, Therapeutic Play, and Disaster Mental Health. My training includes EMDR, DBT, Polyvagal, and Energy Psychologies. My goal is to provide those dealing with difficult situations, both past and present, with tools with which to navigate these. If you are struggling with such challenges as depression, anxiety, trauma, or adjusting to life's demands, I would appreciate the opportunity to walk with you for a time and share skills, tools, and insights I've gained along the way.
