Hello. I am glad you are here. My approach integrates the healing power of music and expressive arts into trauma therapy. I believe that the experiences we have in childhood shape who we become as adults. Oftentimes, these early moments of overwhelm, pain, and fear go unresolved becoming embedded in our nervous system. As we grow older, this reeks havoc on our relationships, ability to regulate mood, and experience success. Common struggles among the people who choose to work with me include boundaries and relationship, childhood abuse & neglect, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, sexual trauma, anxiety, and burnout.
