Many people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside feels tight, muted, or out of reach. You may be functioning well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself on the inside. My work is Gestalt-informed, body-based, and art-centered, which means we pay attention to what emerges through sensation, emotion, image, and lived experience, not just words. You don’t need to be creative, broken, or in crisis to come. Therapy here is a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what feels real, alive, and true for you. You are not alone.
I can offer a safe and supportive environment and relationship to help people to learn about themselves move forward and heal. Therapeutic art and somatic processing allow for deeper learning, acceptance and healing. Trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges impact many people and working to increase one's belief in self drives my work.
We live in challenging times and sometimes coping mechanisms cease to work. We all have times when we need support. I understand. It takes strength and courage to. acknowledge when support is needed. I also know that you are capable and hold all the answers you need. Please reach out and let's make a time to chat and see how I can support you.

I use an eclectic analytical approach that focuses on what brought you to therapy. Both talk and art therapies are used to express what is often challenging to process, or put into words. Energetic, somatic and mindfulness practices balance the work. We will investigate what thoughts, emotions, and experiences you have had and how they can be used to help you do your work and meet your goals.
