How do you work with clients with relationship issues?
I believe that every issue is a relationship issue, even if it's a relationship with yourself. Most people are motivated to finally come to therapy because of issues with relationships. I love working on the concept of love and finding a healthier, healed place for that to occur.
About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I was an artist but my hobby was psychology. I found art therapy (a perfect balance of the two) and continued my education to become one. Yoga and mindfulness became an essential part of my somatic work. I started a private practice in 2001.

About Me
How can you provide care remotely?
To be honest, it was quite a challenge to learn how to translate my therapeutic approach to remote, but I liked the challenge. My online sessions look very similar to in person as we still create art and do mindfulness techniques. I use a laptop to look at art while video chatting and being connected to you.
