About Therapy

Therapy is more than talking.

In therapy, there will be more than just talking. There will be listening, problem-solving, and setting goals. Getting to know one another and developing trust is significant to the therapeutic process. But that is not all!

We will do activities that bring insight and greater clarity to your current situation. These activities might include the sand tray or drawing something visual based on a prompt that I provide. These individualized activities will further the healing process and make counseling more enjoyable.

I will create an atmosphere that is nonjudgmental and safe. You will feel honored in your beliefs, culture, and history in this space. We will work together on your goals at the pace that feels right to you.

Throughout the process, you will feel accepted and respected as we work together, no matter what path your life has taken.

Finding answers is our goal.

One of my core beliefs in counseling is that you, the client, hold the answers you seek.

My job is to help you discover those answers and honor them as we work together. You will find your power and worth and will come to like yourself.

The important thing to remember is that you will have the tools to navigate life more successfully and joyfully.

My office offers help to all members of the family.

I use a collection of toys in child-centered play therapy. While working with children and adolescents, I use creative art-focused activities.

There are putty and smooth stones if your hands need something to do while we talk. You are unique, and my approach to therapy with you will be unique based on your needs, interests, and goals.

Lessons learned in life guide my approach.

My life has been impacted by workaholism, narcissism, working through marital difficulties, separation, divorce, depression, anxiety, bullying, kids with severe mental health challenges, single parenthood, and dating after divorce.

I’ve been through some tough stuff and found joy on the other side. I know how challenging family life can be, and I have the tools to help you and your kids get through it.
