About My Clients
Do you ever find yourself struggling to feel seen or heard in relationship? Do you find it difficult to identify your needs? Your mind, body and heart know what to do and how to heal. And yet, healing cannot occur in isolation. Therapy can uncouple this aloneness to make way for deep transformation. If you struggle to feel seen in relationship, want to work through old belief patterns, or are curious about exploring how you relate to the world and why, I encourage you to reach out today.
My Background and Approach
As a holistic, trauma informed art therapist, my priority is to hold space for the full human experience. I weave the wisdom of the body, art based interventions, neurobiology, and interpersonal relating to help clients feel seen, supported and deeply understood. This work supports you in navigating through depression, anxiety, complex trauma, shame and relational wounding from past or present experiences. Through this process you will learn how to feel your presence and experience yourself in a new way leading to true confidence and having more satisfying relationships. Working in the present moment with the dynamic between you and me offers information as to how you experience the world. Our work together is not to stop the feeling and discomfort from happening, but rather find your resilience in the discomfort. How? By staying with it, being in a safe space, staying curious together and watching what happens when it moves. It is a practice of owning your wild humanness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I firmly believe in the importance of integrity and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship and know that it is important for me to continually check my privilege and be held accountable in this sacred work. I believe healing cannot occur in isolation and that regardless of your race, gender or sexual orientation, you deserve and are entitled to access care. The sanctity of the therapeutic relationship is the highest priority. I believe in open communication and collaboration and will often check in with you about your experience. I am deeply human and believe in exploring all parts of myself. I believe that I can only help you as much as I help myself, and am committed to my own personal growth as much as I am yours. As a professional, I am held to a high standard by the community and licensure boards. My capacity to do my job well means tending to my self care, continued personal growth and awareness and professional development.
