I am a licensed professional counselor and a registered art psychotherapist, using traditional psychotherapy, transpersonal psychology, as well as art therapy and elements of ritual in my counseling with adolescents and adults.
With a deep respect for ritual and after years of experience being in many different kinds of ceremony, it is a passion of mine to assist others in creating their own unique rituals to help make meaning at necessary times in their lives.
After 6 years working with grieving children, teens, adults and patients at hospice, I bring in-depth knowledge of grief and loss to my work with people from all walks of life who are moving through any of life's many transitions.
