I offer a supportive and nonjudgemental environment for clients to get to know themselves on a deeper level through creative expression. In sessions you will use art and other creative processes to explore new ways of problem solving, building self-esteem, processing trauma or grief, managing stress, or working through feelings of depression. Your immediate needs will determine the work we do and I will partner with you to help get you closer to your wellness goals.

My approach to therapy is relational - I help you to uncover your innate strengths and resources and to become more connected and authentic in your relationship to yourself and others. Most clients I work with have trauma in their childhoods, which includes childhood emotional neglect. I also love working with therapists (and other healers) who are looking for their own personal therapy. Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can feel daunting, and I commend you for your courage.

Do you struggle with a mind that does not turn off? Do you overanalyze yourself and others? Do you have a critical inner voice? I can help you find the "off button" in your mind, no longer react to every thought and feeling that goes through your mind and learn to laugh at the voice in your head. Together we can achieve what seems impossible.

Patients come to me for many different issues. All have something in common: the desire to improve. Maybe you want to improve your mood, thoughts, behavior, and/or relationships. I can support making these changes. Just like physical therapy, the goal is to support you with interventions so that ideally you would not need treatment anymore. Treatment can be brief, just learning and practicing new skills. However, sometimes our lives become so chaotic we need longer support through the storm.

Even on a good day, when everything is going well, you still have those feelings: not understanding why you keep doing the things that you do, not recognizing the person you have become. On the outside you seem like you have your life put together, but on the inside, you are overwhelmed with unhappiness...and the feelings have become too strong to ignore. You're tired of feeling "stuck" in your life or that you’re “broken” or unworthy of love. You don’t have to continue to suffer.

Does daily life feel harder than it should be? Feelings like anxiety, sadness, emptiness, and pain begin to feel like a part of you and you may start to question if they will always weigh you down. Or maybe you turn to food or social media to help yourself to feel better and you only end up feeling worse? By teaching skills to manage the negative thoughts and guiding you in rediscovering who you are outside of these negative feelings, I can help you refocus on what is important and fulfilling.
