Finding the right therapist can be time-consuming, emotionally exhausting, and expensive. For this reason, I offer a complimentary full-length introductory session. I have experience with youth and adults navigating struggles with self-esteem, depression, childhood or other trauma, disordered eating, relationship issues, boundaries, grief, life transitions, gender & sexuality inquiry, and existential anxiety. Clients appreciate my precision & warmth, and my gentle but directive approach to therapy. Mindfulness and meditation inform my practice and I am available, if you wish, to support you to explore this part of yourself.
My degree is in Expressive Arts Therapy, which means that visual arts, theatre, music, poetry, and/or movement work can be part of your therapeutic process if you wish. No artistic experience or expertise is required. I've also trained in relational talk therapy and psychoanalysis, so there's lots of ways to work together, depending on what's needed.
My approach is both relational/here-and-now, and psychodynamic. I won't pathologize you or give advice. I believe in a collaborative approach in therapy. We may use the arts, or other here-and-now explorations to work with whatever you're experiencing, and how it might connect to the larger arcs of your life. We'll stay curious together, let things unfold.
