Integrating modern science & ancient healing arts to heal; I've learned from many amazing people what's worked throughout the ages to ease human difficulties and emotional pain using western esoteric arts, mythology, and what nature has taught us. I have come to understand how challenges help us shape and strengthen the center of us. I studied everything I could get my hands on, anything that seemed to help people live life to the fullest: Western medicines of neuroscience and psychology; I studied in my mind and in my body; I lost my way and always found my path again. I love to find the heart of people- to enjoy fully!

You know something isn’t right in your life and hasn’t been right for a while. You also know that you really don’t like talking about it, but your behaviors are becoming more problematic every day. Maybe you are fighting with loved ones, eating or drinking too much, sleeping too much or not enough, avoiding intimacy with your partner(s). Life just seems hard most days, and relating to others is a challenge. Life can be good, and you deserve the good life. You AND your relationships have more potential than even you can imagine, and your true capabilities might be Limitless.

Although I began my clinical work providing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and other 3rd-generation, skill-based modalities, what I really love is to work with people who want to dive deep and process issues that lie beneath the surface. If you have had previous experiences with therapy but have found only temporary relief, and would like to go to the next level of processing, I would like to help you open into compassion and liberate yourself from suffering.

Experiential Play Therapy is a model of play therapy with a strong belief in the child’s quest for health. Only the child knows their particular perceptions of their life’s dilemmas. Therefore, in Experiential Play Therapy, the child is allowed to be the director of the play. In that process, they will utilize toys and their own creativity to recreate their experience in an environment that enables them to approach their struggles so that they are able to regain the power that has been lost in the actual event or environment. The therapist becomes a partner in the child’s quest, assuming whatever role the child requests.

Throughout our lives, the events we experience distort, crack, and chip away at the lens through which we see the world. These distortions could be serious fissures and created by a single incident or they could be many minor chips created over years of toxic experience or chronic stress. Our views and the distortions in that lens inherently alter the way in which we interact with the world. My goal is to serve as a guide to help you heal and reshape that lens, thus improving overall wellbeing and interactions with the world.

Do you struggle with the effects of trauma, anxiety or depression? On the surface things have been going ok but it feels like you are masking at work, at home and with friends. Underneath the mask is the feeling that you don’t really belong, constant anxiety, imposter syndrome and a bit of perfectionism. Perhaps you’ve learned that to keep up appearances that people-pleasing and putting other people’s needs ahead of your own feels safer than being seen. The feelings of being too much and not enough plague you. You are tired of keeping this up and want to break free into your authentic self but something keeps holding you back.

I have 30 years of experience working with clients seeking to thrive in life. I specialize in working with trauma (a stressful event that shatters ones sense of security in the world leaving them feeling overwhelmed and helpless) using EMDR, Sensorimotor psychotherapy, Sandtray therapy, Art therapy and Play therapy. I work with adults, children, and families. I believe in a holistic approach incorporating the mind, body and spirit to heal.

I work with kids, adolescents and families who are interested in making positive changes. Through individual and family sessions, I help people gain skills to better manage emotions, cope with challenging feelings, and build better relationships. I operate from an attachment perspective, supporting those I work with in nurturing strong and lasting connections.
