Is life feeling like too much to handle alone lately? Are you feeling stuck or hopeless? Do you struggle to prioritize yourself or even know who you are or what you want? You are not alone. This non-judgmental space has been created for you to unload your burden. You will be listened to, believed in, acknowledged, and seen. You will be welcomed. You are invited to create this space for yourself. Together we will embark on a journey toward emotional healing and wholeness, exploring mind, body, and spirit.
Integrating art making in therapy can help us understand our path to healing and wholeness. Art can be a vehicle of expression and integration for difficult experiences, emotions, and forgotten aspects of ourselves. We can incorporate your personal creativity and innate wisdom to understand your current experience.
For newfound freedom in your life and a place to lay down your burden, please take the first step to connect. Please visit my website to see more about how I work as a therapist. I see CA clients in person and only see WA clients via telehealth. Also, I'm a queer therapist familiar with non-traditional relationship structures. I love supporting LGBTQ+ folks.
