MY WORK
INDIVIDUAl,FAMILY, & COUPLES COUNSELING
The goal is to allow the real and imaginary story to unfold
unlocking the mysteries that open
secrets of the mind, body, and spirit to enable harmony and peace to heal angry outbursts, anxiety, parenting skills, confusion, stress, trauma, and so much more.
This happens because verbal and non-verbal communication happens once trust is established with active participation in a variety of modalities: sandplay, art, music, creative movement, writing, & imaginative play.
