About My Clients
I am experienced in serving individuals, couples, and families of all ages. In addition to private practice, I have experience working in K-8 Montessori school settings, a domestic & sexual violence nonprofit agency, and a behavioral health hospital running art therapy groups for inpatient and outpatient units (pediatric through geriatric age range). My specialties include serving women and children, adolescents, and families.
My Background and Approach
I practice mainly using attachment-based Narrative Art Therapy. In the therapeutic process, I take into account the whole person and view each of my clients from a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens. I hold the assumption that everyone has been impacted by past events, experiences, and emotions which shaped the person they have become. Trauma can leave us with wounded inner parts of ourselves that need healing. As a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT-200), I utilize mindfulness-based and breath practices to help inform clients where they hold their emotions and help them move through it. In addition, I am EMDR-trained (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is a tool to help resolve traumatic memories and the negative beliefs about oneself. Through collaboration with the client, we seek to determine patterns of what is working and what no longer serves them in their day-to-day lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe anyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy provides a container and space just for you to explore, doubt, question, grow, heal, play, laugh, become curious, and learn more about yourself. This will have a direct impact on your mental health/wellbeing, your relationships, and overall quality of life.
