Perhaps you want change, but therapy hasn't worked for you in the past. Perhaps you feel stuck or held back by old patterns, relationships, or circumstances. Maybe you have unresolved trauma. You might be frustrated with societal and systemic impacts on well-being. You may want to better understand the impacts of your past on your present-day life. You may also struggle with the challenges presented by neurodivergence, being female, being queer, or being part of another marginalized group in a culture that doesn't see your experience.
I am a trauma-informed expressive arts therapist who draws on Internal Family Systems, developmental psychology, and a systems lens, to support you in re-storying your life, visioning for the life you want, getting out of stuck patterns, building supportive practices, drawing healthy boundaries, and exploring the themes, imagery, and symbols of your life.
If you are interested in better understanding what has kept you stuck, understanding different parts of yourself and systemic forces on your life, using art to support you, and re-understanding your history, as well as receiving support in visioning and dreaming for your life, and building new plans and strategies, I would love to hear from you.
