Relationships, and creative expression may be difficult for you. Yet intimacy and being fully expressed is what you long for. Many of my clients did not learn in their family of origins that they were allowed to be themselves, or have a voice. You may still be learning how to be with your emotions, respond to stressors, and navigate a relational world. The complicated life circumstances of adulthood may feel overwhelming for you, resulting in even more disconnection and isolation. As a sensitive person you may struggle with transitions, overstimulation, anxiety, avoidance, stuck-ness, and dysregulation in your closest relationships.
In therapy I help you find your emotions, use your voice, and feel deeply seen and heard. If you are a sensitive and creative person born into dysfunctional family systems, you are probably working to heal from emotional neglect and/or trauma. In our work together, you will experientially learn how to accept yourself, connect, and express love more securely.
Your beautiful, vibrant, clear, and lovable Self is awaiting you! Committing to a stable therapeutic relationship will allow your vulnerabilities to be honored, your creative gifts to emerge, and your self-love to grow. My clients share that their lives have been forever changed. If this is the experience you'd like to give yourself, I'm excited to connect.

I use a body-centered, IFS-informed approach that blends together a compassionate loving presence, with reflections that help you discover your own strength and beauty. Over time, you will notice the fragmented parts of yourself feeling more and more whole. I also utilize tools of creative expression, vocal therapy, and music therapy when appropriate and helpful.
