There's nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken, though I honor if you feel this way. I am passionate about guiding clients to restore their sense of wholeness by releasing the painful emotions/beliefs (some which are subconscious) that are contributing to issues such as anxiety/phobias, depression, harmful and limiting patterns/behaviors, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, feeling stuck/lost, low self-esteem, addiction, chronic pain/illness, etc etc.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your heart and not be afraid of your feelings. Many of us have developed ways of denying, repressing, or avoiding painful feelings, rather than learning to embrace them. In a trusting relationship such as therapy, one can learn to experience feelings more without so much fear, leading to deeper self and other relationships.

You might be reading this because you find yourself at a crossroads and you’re looking to try something new. Maybe the old way of doing things feels unsatisfying but you’re unsure of how to forge a new path for yourself. You might feel empty or disconnected inside or like you don’t truly know who you are or what you want. Maybe you feel like there were parts of your identity that were unwelcome or unwanted and you’re struggling to integrate them into who you are today. Therapy can help us slow down and notice the way our history informs our actions so that we can make choices that feel more authentic to us.

I work with those going through a life transition, whether it be a relationship change, entering into a new phase of life, coming out as LGBTQ, or something else entirely. I have a special focus and experience working with people who are highly identified with their own creativity, including writers, visual artists, musicians, and dancers. The goal is to develop understanding into the ways you have configured your identity in the past and present, and re-integrate these things into the future you want to create.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Disappointment, failure, loss, frustration, anger and sadness are unavoidable aspects of human existence. The past cannot be rewritten. But the way in which we choose to come to terms with the past - as either members of a familial unit, a couple, or an individual - will go a long way towards determining our happiness in the present. I bring a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental approach to my work that arises out of my deeply held conviction that the most important determinant of therapeutic success will be the therapeutic alliance between patient and therapist.

I am a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals establish a clear vision for their lives that incorporates both personal desires and professional goals. Different points in life present different challenges. Are you relatively new to the workforce and trying to figure out your career path? Do you feel stuck in a job or profession that you've outgrown? Has a life change (marriage, parenthood, eldercare) altered your priorities? Perhaps you're contemplating a life makeover but don't know how to proceed. These are areas where I can help.

I believe each of us is born with an authentic self that guides us on our path and has the innate capacity for healing. When that authentic self is not nurtured enough by our environment, it develops defenses as protection. Patterns of behavior, ways of perceiving the world, and anxiety often result. Through our work together, I help you to integrate mind, body and spirit, strengthening your authentic self and exploring whether the defenses are still needed. I am interested in your strengths as well as your struggles, and my aim is for you to begin to feel grounded, whole and centered.

Experiential Therapy
How does experiential therapy work?
Experiential therapy works by allowing an individual to use their creativity to re-imagine themselves and their lives in an effort to process their emotions. Experiential therapy may take many forms, including engaging clients through art, re-enactments, role-playing, music, or forms of physical recreation. By focusing on these activities, experiential therapists help individuals identify the emotions they associate with previous experiences and work together to cope with negative reactions, like fear, anger, or shame.
Is experiential therapy evidence-based?
Experiential therapy incorporates many therapy modalities, some of which have been more closely researched than others. Music therapy, for example, has been shown to help with sleep problems. Some studies find that art therapy can be beneficial for those with eating disorders or personality disorders, while other research suggests that such approaches have little impact.
How long does experiential therapy last?
The duration of experiential therapy will depend on the type of therapy used as well as the severity of the challenges an individual faces. Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Art therapy may comprise 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly or on an as-needed basis. For each therapy type, clients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
Does experiential therapy help with trauma?
Trauma is one area where experiential therapy may be useful. Traumatic experiences such as combat or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating visual art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. Listening to music can be relaxing, while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, or who have been physically or emotionally abused.
