You just feel...stuck. You deal with a persistent sadness like you're moving through life in a heavy fog. Or maybe you're constantly on edge, overwhelmed by worry and that unrelenting inner critic. Maybe you just feel so disconnected that you're having trouble identifying the problem. On the outside, everything looks perfect and you 'should ' be happy. The truth is, you've gotten so good at faking it that you feel like an imposter in your own life. You're just not your best self.
You've been thinking about getting help but life's busy. Maybe you've been hesitant because of your high public profile and privacy is a concern. Perhaps you've tried therapy before that just didn't 'click'. I can help. I provide EMDR and alternatives to traditional talk therapy from the comfort of your home/office via secure and private videoconferencing.
Imagine EXPRESSing and releasing that which no longer serves you to Transform past dramas and traumas so you can Flourish in life -authentically, unapologetically owning your inner BADASS. As an Art Therapist my approach is creative and collaborative. Art experience not required. Providing online services to the entire state, to meet you where you're at!
