I specialize in helping artists, writers, journalists, authors, musicians, actors, filmmakers and creative people from all walks of life to rediscover and reconnect with their passion and creativity. As a writer myself, I understand how artistic pursuits can bring up unexpected connections and challenges in our personal lives and vice versa. It would be a privilege to work together toward a more balanced, robust, and hopeful existence. Let me be your guide & support as we build essential coping skills, explore the past & develop tools and resources to turn daydreams into reality now and in the future. I look forward to meeting you!

Sometimes it feels like you put your heart and soul into relationships and keep getting hurt. The times you’ve needed support the most, you’ve been left stranded and alone. You ask yourself: "What’s going on?" "Why does it feel like I keep attracting the same type of people into my life?". These are valid questions that many of us bounce around in our head but don’t always have the opportunity to process and understand. With my experience and training I strive to help my clients gain clarity and recognize their own patterns and guide them through a path of understanding and healing.

Do you seek relief from anxiety, low self worth, negative self-talk? Are you creative, highly sensitive, or feel like a "black sheep"? I can relate in both my being-human and therapy journeys... As a holistic therapist, I use brain science w/ tried and true coping tools plus somatic, Jungian, Parts Work, and expressive arts therapies. I believe we all have innate gifts + strengths that we "remember" and reactivate through meaningful connections that also birth self-trust. Together, we'll heal anxiety/stress, trauma, identity + relationship issues by exploring your stories, automatic beliefs, and emotions your brain/mind/body hold.

Do you feel lost or tempted to despair? Do you feel as if you're not truly or deeply living? As if real and substantial change may not be possible for you? I believe your despair can give way to an unfolding realization of hope. You can be more than you are, better than you are, even transform your life as you know it. Your life can increasingly be marked by an enduring sense of inward peace that no one can take from you. If you're struggling with such core life issues, I believe I can help you.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost - J.R.R. Tolkien. Therapy is a unique type of wandering. It's a journey that begins by taking a step inward with an understanding that self-reflection and introspection have purpose. Your purpose and motivation is unique to you. You could be motivated by growth, healing, connection, love or pain. Knowing your motivation will help you stay focused and persevere through your journey.

There are many reasons to seek therapy, and each person’s path to it is unique. I view therapy as a collaborative journey to support wellbeing on all levels: mind, body, and soul. It is a sacred space where together we can untangle the issues that are creating distress in your life, uncover and heal old wounds as well as discover lost and hidden treasures, and help you find your path back to wholeness. Therapy can help your child safely work through feelings such as sadness, anger, anxiety, or grief; develop a strong sense of self-esteem, and learn new skills to effectively make their way through an increasingly complex world.
