Art Therapy in 20005

Seen. Heard. Treasured. Our specialty is helping survivors of complex trauma whether it is sexual, military, domestic violence, or bullying. Because we know that trauma lodges itself somewhere in the body, R1:99 offers sensorimotor and expressive therapies such as art, music, drama, and movement in addition to psychotherapy.

If you feel like you are depressed, anxious, or stuck and don't know what direction to take your life or relationship, please consider psychotherapy. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults who have problems with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood swings, and relationship problems.

Navigating all the changes and challenges that come in our 20s and 30s can be overwhelming, stressful, and anxiety-filled. Though young adulthood can be an exciting time to explore and deepen your sense of self, many of us feel stuck, lost, or plagued by the pressure to "have it all figured out." You might be thinking, "Why does everyone else seem to know where they’re going and what they’re doing?" You're not alone in these thoughts, fears, and uncertainty. Whether it’s securing and thriving in the right job, breaking out of self-defeating patterns, or finding and maintaining healthy relationships, I’m here to help you get unstuck!

Life can be overwhelming and you are not alone in your struggles. Though reaching out for help can feel scary, making this choice is often transformative. You deserve support and to have hope in your life. Therapy with me is a process where this happens and I find it an honor to walk beside and gently guide you through whatever you may be experiencing. I believe in basing our therapeutic relationship on acceptance, genuineness, and empathy. I work with all types of people--children, adolescents, and adults--who are struggling with the external, internal, or both in a non-judgmental, strengths-based, trauma-informed manner.

Life is too short and you only have one life to live!! No matter what life has thrown at you, you deserve a life full of peace, balance, abundance and joy; where you find excitement in waking up to new possibilities. I am here to help you map it out, so let’s talk about it! Therapy is interactional and not one-sided; you are the expert of your life, so let me know how I can help. We can work on achieving goals, dreams, aspirations, or solutions to aversive life situations and try to find ways to enjoy the process. Who knows, you may discover new potentials and possibilities within yourself.

You may have arrived here because a part of you is ready to shift, even though another part of you is scared. Know that you have a reached a space where you are safe. Know that you have reached a space where your feelings are handled with care. Know that you have reached a space where you are unconditionally accepted. It's nice to meet you.
