Reaching out for therapy is a brave step. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel caught, like we don't understand why we feel the way we do or behave in certain ways. Our past experiences can create patterns and habits that might be impacting us in negative ways. Our past doesn't have to define our future. We can learn to slow down and expand our capacity to heal and grow. I work from a trauma-informed, and relational approach. I strive to create a supportive and warm environment where you can safely explore your emotions, take risks, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
As an expressive arts therapist and somatic experiencing practitioner, I offer an integrative, warm, and playful environment for you to explore your unique challenges in a compassionate and supportive environment. I also draw from other therapeutic theories, including: internal family systems, Hakomi, Buddhist psychology, and emotionally focused therapy.
The connection and relationship with your therapist is a crucial component to therapy. I offer a free 20-minute phone consult so we can chat, you can ask questions, and we can explore whether working feels like a good fit.
