In my work with self-esteem, I focus on helping clients explore and embrace their unique strengths, identities, and values. Recognizing that issues like discrimination, neurodivergence, and trauma can impact self-worth, I create a safe, supportive environment where clients can rediscover their confidence and develop a healthy, affirming relationship with themselves. Together, we work on fostering self-compassion, resilience, and genuine self-acceptance.

I approach depression from a transformative, narrative-based perspective, helping clients unpack the layers of their experiences while nurturing hope and healing. With art therapy as a core component, I support clients in expressing emotions that might feel overwhelming to verbalize. By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, we work together on building resilience, understanding underlying causes, and cultivating self-love and new ways of belonging.

Anxiety can affect every aspect of life, and I take a holistic, person-centered approach to help clients manage it effectively. With a background in art therapy, I integrate creative expression with talk therapy to help clients understand their anxiety triggers, develop coping skills, and find new ways to feel grounded and present. My approach is trauma-informed, offering tools that are both empowering and sensitive to each client’s unique experiences.

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify and build on their strengths and successes. Together, we focus on creating practical steps to address current challenges, with an emphasis on discovering solutions that promote growth and resilience. This approach empowers clients to make meaningful changes, fostering a sense of achievement and progress from the very first session.

In my trauma therapy approach, I provide a safe and compassionate space for clients to process difficult experiences at a pace that feels right for them. We work together to explore past events with care, focusing on emotional regulation, resilience, and reclaiming a sense of safety and empowerment. This trauma-informed approach prioritizes sensitivity and respect, supporting clients in finding healing and growth.

Art Therapy offers a unique pathway for clients to express emotions and experiences that may be hard to verbalize. By tapping into creativity, clients can explore and process feelings in a non-judgmental and expressive way. This approach not only facilitates self-discovery and insight but also helps foster healing through the creative process, making it a powerful tool for transformation and growth.
