I offer counseling/psychotherapy and coaching for individuals and couples. I love helping people with relationship issues, encouraging them to embrace their emotions so they can successfully navigate life!
In addition to assisting people experiencing anxiety, panic, phobias, social anxiety, OCD, ADHD/ADD, and Bi-polar disorder, I have experience working with people around relationship issues (with partners or spouses, family, work life, dating, etc.), decluttering/organizing and simplicity, assertiveness, LGBTQ+, gender and sexuality issues, self-esteem, and attracting what you want in life. Experienced working with folks who are on any part of the gender spectrum and am sex positive, poly and kink friendly, respecting all sexual orientations, relationships, and behaviors that are consensual and non-exploitive.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
Albert Einstein
Making art and tapping into the creative process can be a powerful way to express your thoughts and feelings. It can be calming, lead to focus and integrate polarities, as well as assist in expanding options and facilitating decision-making, risk-taking, and getting unstuck and clear. No previous art experience is needed!
As a Registered Board Art Therapist (ATR) and SoulCollage® Facilitator, I have seen time and time again how rewarding the creative process can be and that the experience is most often more important than the end product.
Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness in which concentration becomes highly focused. In this relaxed, suggestive state the benefits can be accelerated learning and reduction in symptoms such as addictions, physical pain, debilitating moods or emotional patterns and reactions to trauma. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You are always in charge and I validate the fact that all the “answers” are within you.
