My expertise is in providing a holistic and integrated approach to concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress management, self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, and relationship concerns.
I am trained in mindfulness-based approaches, somatic psychotherapy, play therapy, yoga, sandtray and art, as well as traditional cognitive therapy. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults.
