I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down, explore your story, and better understand what’s happening in your body and nervous system. My approach weaves together expressive art therapy and somatic experiencing, allowing us to work with both creative expression and body-based awareness. Sessions may include talking, writing, visual art, or other forms of expression. There’s no right or wrong way to show up, and no prior art experience is needed. Together, we’ll find what feels most supportive as we make sense of emotions that can be difficult to put into words.
As a queer-identified therapist, I’m deeply passionate about working with the LGBTQIA2+ community and supporting people who may feel disconnected from their identity. I have experience working with sexual trauma, gender and sexuality exploration, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence, and I strive to offer a space where all parts of you are welcome.
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. I’m here to meet you gently wherever you are. You can book a free 15-minute consultation through my Jane App or reach out via email to see if we might be a good fit.
