One of my greatest passions involves helping people through various transitions of life. I offer therapy for Grief, Loss, Substance Use Disorders, Trauma, Behavioral Addictions, and Spiritual Direction. I believe our mental health is intricately connected to our emotional and spiritual well-being. There are times we find ourselves choosing unhealthy coping tools to redirect self-defeating, self-loathing, and self-sabotaging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through a multi-disciplined approach, I'll help you identify those negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and reconnect to the emotions you've grown numb to.
Together, we’ll deeply explore unresolved issues using an Expressive Therapy approach designed to foster insight and healing.
In our time together, we’ll take a compassionate and thoughtful look at the experiences that may still feel unresolved. You’ll have the opportunity to explore your thoughts and emotions through creative expression. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and heard.
