As a psychotherapist and group facilitator, I have experience in working with individuals, couples, and families of all backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients to explore their inner process and achieve personal transformation. I am trained in traditional psychotherapy as well as mindfulness, drama, somatic movement, and visual arts therapies. I view every negative or positive experience as an opportunity for growth, healing and discovering the beauty that life has to offer in the face of  sometimes traumaticevents. http://www.mysteryhearttherapy.wordpress.com/
