It is not always easy to be a human being. We all go through times when we feel lost, lonely, unfulfilled, stuck, confused and overwhelmed by life and our feelings. During these difficult moments it is natural and healthy to want to reach out for help. I provide a space and the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings, highlight your strengths and internal resources, and creatively adjust to overcome barriers or patterns that prevent you from moving forward in life.
I provide a dynamic form of psychotherapy incorporating talk therapy with art making, writing, and other forms of creative modalities as they relate to each individual I work with. I best help adults who are struggling with balancing work and family life, as well as multiple pursuits and interests. My client base includes adults in creative fields such as artists, writers and musicians.
Our work has focused on using art as a therapeutic tool in itself, processing the life experiences that prompted artistic pursuits, and on dealing with the struggles which follow from choosing art as a lifestyle and as a career.

Services
There are many ways to work with dreams.
This group offers the opportunity to discover the meaning of your dreams through Gestalt Dream Work.
Developed by Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt therapy, dream work is based on the idea that every aspect of a dream represents the dreamer and that the dream provides an "existential message."
Sometimes, the people and things we dream about are projections of parts of ourselves that we have disowned.
In a typical session, the dreamer retells the dream in the present tense.

I offer a sliding scale option which can be discussed at the initial session.

Clients are expected to pay for each session at the start or end of session.
It may be possible for clients to receive reimbursement for sessions with me as an out-of-network provider, which most other insurances offer.

I understand that life is complicated and that appointments sometimes have to be rescheduled or cancelled.
Having said that, counseling works best when appointments are predictable for both sides, so I will do my very best not to move appointments or cancel them, and hope that you will do the same.
Request to Reschedule: If you cannot make an appointment, but we are able to reschedule to a time before your next appointment, there will be no charge.
Cancellation Within 24 Hours: If you cancel your appointment without rescheduling then your fee for that session is payable, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
