The decision to start therapy can be a difficult one.

I hope the information here will assist you in finding

the right help.

My philosophy for working with people is that

everyone has within them the potential to

heal and grow.  Often people seeking therapy

have experienced something that has prevented

them from accessing their own healing potential. 

They have lost track or have yet to discover their

own strengths, skills and gifts.  As a therapist it is

my privilege to help people move towards their

personal and emotional goals.                                                 

                                         In working with Children,

                                         I use, a developmental

                                         approach.  I meet the child

                                         where they are

                                         developmentally and their

                                         needs are the compass to

                                         the therapeutic path we

                                         take together. Play therapy

                                         is the primary modality.  

                                       

                                        When I work with Adults I

                                         incorporate EMDR and

                                        CBT to explore current and

                                        past barriers to  personal

                                        growth.
