| Practice Description: |
I see a broad range of clients including children, teens, adults, couples and the elderly. I specialize in the full spectrum of adoption related counseling from birth parents, open adoptions, post adoption issues and infertility concerns. I have a large collection of sandplay items totaling over 1,000 items for adults and children to explore with a use as a tool to heal. With some people I incorporate creative expression and the arts as a mode of healing. Typically use an eclectic approach in therapy including CBT, narrative therapy, the enneagram as a tool, and family systems.
