Therapy helps us find a way to live in the world authentically and wholeheartedly. Are you looking for ways to alleviate emotional pain, negative thinking, behaviors or beliefs? Would you like to learn your personal boundaries and implement changes to empower yourself in relationships? Counseling offers an opportunity to learn positive ways to respond to life's challenges, to understand and change self-defeating behavior patterns and build a more balanced and meaningful life. Everyone has the potential to improve, make positive changes, and deepen their relationship with their self. Email to start the scheduling process.
I'm an eclectic therapist here to help you on your healing journey. I utilize an approach incorporating evidence based practices.  I tailor my approach to my clients personality and their goals. We can work with art or not. I practice CBT and LI. You will have new internal tracking systems & coping skills to work with daily.
I am here to offer compassionate space to explore your truth. I can help teach coping skills for anxiety, anger & depression as well as bring awareness to how thoughts, emotions and the stories we tell ourselves are linked. Psychospiritual exploration & art therapy are great ways to express what words cannot.

Inga is one of the most compassionate people I know and I highly recommend working with her if you get the chance! She has helped so many people heal from past trauma and break yucky relationship patterns. Her art therapy style is so helpful.

I often use creative, reflective processes in conjunction with talk therapy. We can explore current or past challenges, bringing healing to those struggles. I work with psychoeducation referencing the book "How to be an Adult" & others. We can explore your attachment style and boundaries in relationships. I want you to leave with more self-empowerment & self-love & ability to face all of life.
