Healing comes in many different forms. I’ve dedicated my life and my practice to learning many healing approaches to expand my clinical knowledge and skill. As both a clinical social worker and a psychologist, I have a strong foundation in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy and other traditional talk therapy approaches. I’ve also specialized in learning various approaches to trauma (e.g., EMDR, hypnosis, craniosacral therapy). From working with children as young as three, I‘ve learned the value of more visual and expressive types of therapy (sandtray therapy; music and imagery) to help creatively represent what cannot be expressed with words.

In addition to studying traditional approaches to psychological health and well-being, I’ve also been a student of ancient healing practices. This means being aware that we’re more than our physical bodies.

Although therapy may consist of integrated techniques and therapeutic approaches, ultimately the relationship between client and practitioner is the most powerful indicator of success in treatment.
