ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I'm a spunky, creative healer who's healing herself, a mom and wife, an artist, and a cancer survivor. I'm all these things and yet none of them. I've worked to sythesize the elements that resonated and release the mishaps and failures. I do it to learn and grow forward in my heart. I believe the key to healing - whether physical, mental or emotional - is to attain balance - to take responsibility for ourselves, peeking into every crevice of our lives.

EXPERIENCE
SPECIALTIES
I didn't start out as a therapist, but came to it resisting and fighting. First I was a preschool teacher, then a graphic designer and copywriter, then an art teacher, a kindergarten teacher, a Waldorf teacher, and then finally, an expressive arts therapist. The thread all these callings share is ART! Funny how the very essence of what calls to you is often the very idea we are most blind to...Besides my job experience, I've lived in five different states, where I've started over and recreated repeatedly. The moves, the jobs, the in between journeys and the fact that I bring lots of life experience color every aspect of the therapy I provide you.
