Therapy Approach:

I believe in the power of therapy, which is most effective with a strong therapeutic relationship.  I am an empathic therapist who provides a judgment-free zone that gives individuals a safe place to express their thoughts and feelings.  I utilize a person-centered approach and adjust my interventions depending on the client’s needs, beliefs and desires.  When it is appropriate, I help clients build assertiveness skills, create coping skills and understand the importance of self-care.

I incorporate concepts of cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, stress management and expressive therapies to help others improve their well-being. Besides using dance and movement, I am comfortable incorporating narrative therapy, music therapy, and art therapy.

I help clients cope with life challenges by helping to process their emotions and to identify solutions in a supportive environment in their path toward healing.
