Introduction: Hi, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFC 84481) and registered art therapist (ATCB# 14-027). As a marriage and family therapist and art therapist, I can provide traditional talk therapy, art therapy, or a combination of both based upon what best fits your needs. My focus includes working with children and adults challenged by anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce and separation and other life transitions. Common symptoms and behaviors of these emotional challenges can present as inability to focus, panic attacks, poor impulse control, inability to effectively and appropriately express thoughts and feelings, feelings of sadness, depression and anger, low self-esteem, anger outbursts, eating disorders, self-harm, and substance abuse. I also work with parents and families to improve parenting and communication skills and address family concerns. I believe the process of therapy is about self-discovery as well as healing and should bring resolution, not just in the area of concern, but through increased confidence, feelings of self-worth, empowerment, and efficacy to create a strong foundation for ongoing happiness and success.
