“The secret to happiness is freedom..and the secret to freedom is courage.”

Have the courage to take your first step toward happiness by freeing yourself from the obstacles in your way. I use cognitive behavioral techniques, as well as expressive tools, such as art, to teach clients of all ages how to successfully navigate the challenges in their lives, learning to overcome: anxiety, depression, stress, panic disorders, ASD, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and other potentially debilitating diagnoses. I will work beside you, using interactive activities, to teach you how to improve the quality of your life utilizing mindfulness practices and other innovative coping strategies. I will strive to help you identify and work through past and present struggles and obstacles that may be preventing you from being where you want to be in your life. All of our work will be done together in a supportive, relaxed, creative, and comfortable environment.
