Introduction

Welcome to my profile! I am a psychologist, with over fifteen years of experience in therapeutic settings. Currently, I am focused on providing individual therapy to adults either in person or by tele-therapy. I use traditional talk therapy AND the non-traditional World Building method. World Building (aka sandplay) is unique in that it as a way to explore your inner world non-verbally, through symbols, while creating a scene, exploring and expressing what is most relevant to you in the moment. I spent extensive time creating a compelling and evocative room solely for the purpose of World Building, which you will have access to throughout your therapeutic journey. While working with me through these approaches client's often feel more assured, hopeful, in-tune with their life choices, and as a result often experience symptom relief, whether that is decreased anxiety, depression, or negative emotions in general. My work is based on an authentic human to human relationship and grounded in humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic methods helping you shed no longer needed attitudes, work through stuck places and become more who you want to be.
