I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, wife, nature-lover, and mother to two teen daughters. When we meet, I will focus on establishing trust and rapport, and ensure you understand the process of therapy. Early on, we will clarify your long-term goals and collaborate to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. We'll identify what has worked in the past, and I may share my thoughts and perspective. We'll explore your strengths and identify your support system to ensure you are supported outside the therapy office.
Strong feelings are often the result of unmet needs, so I use my training in Nonviolent Communication to work with clients to clarify those feelings and needs and practice communicating them (compassionately) to the significant people in the client's life. I also use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients create rational beliefs with positive emotional consequences. I am nearing completion in my process of becoming a Registered Sandplay Practitioner, so I have a sand tray & miniatures that clients use to allow the unconscious to come into the present. I engage in dreamwork and active imagination, and I utilize art and somatic interventions. I look forward to supporting you on your path toward wholeness and healthy functioning. Specializations: Anxiety, Art Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, CBT, Nonviolent Communication, Trauma, Somatic Therapy/Polyvagal Theory.
