What do you love most about your job?
I love what I do. I am passionate about the power of the arts in therapy and how it can contribute to deepening understanding and strengthening meaning. I appreciate being part of the other's journey and creating connections, insights, and witnessing the process as it unfolds. I feel honored to hold the space, guide and collaborate with the individual or group. I enjoy emotional problem solving and figuring out solutions together.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to run my own practice as I envisioned it from within. I wanted a specialized set-up with a warm and welcoming space that offered also resources and a respite from the busy world outside. I have over 15 years of clinical experience in the US and abroad and have been lucky to work in many communities and private settings, so opening my own office came as a natural progression and it has been a wonderful journey.
