My Approach
My Background
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 25 years in the creative arts—a path that continues to shape my work with curiosity, creativity, and deep respect for individual expression.
I have a long-standing interest in dreams and the unconscious, and I bring creative dreamwork into therapy when it feels meaningful.
I’m also a mom to three teenage sons, so I understand firsthand the complexities, challenges, and rewards of parenting and family life.
