I help people find their inner strengths, which may be difficult to recognize during times of stress, anxiety, depression or trauma. I offer a holistic, experiential approach to therapy that includes talk, creative expression and body-mind awareness. You can expect our work together to be collaborative and relational. With a warm, grounded and compassionate presence I offer you support to challenge old patterns and create a fulfilling life.
Experiential therapy allows you to practice change in the present moment. Exploration through talk, art-making, mindful somatic awareness and movement can help you find flow where you have felt stuck. Approaches I'm trained in include Art Therapy, EMDR, Hakomi, Core Energetics, Clinical Hypnosis, Ego State Therapy, and Guided Drawing for Healing Trauma.
A unique focus in my practice is adults who have a sibling(s) with special needs. I provide a safe space in which to explore the many ways this experience may impact one's life, work and relationships. I also specialize in working with highly sensitive people, artists, and people struggling with anxiety.
