My clients are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, and relationship issues among other symptoms related to unexpected life events such as illness, grief, loss, infidelity, divorce, or trauma. Often times my clients feel overwhelmed, and while they know they want relief, finding their way forward has become difficult. I help my clients clarify goals, outline steps forward, and leverage their strengths to create the lasting change they seek.
Through psychotherapeutic techniques involving mindfulness, creative expression, and somatosensory methodology, my clients experience increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, effective communication and boundary setting, and an overall improvement in coping with stress and adversity.
When life takes a detour, we can feel disoriented and lost. This can impact work, relationships, identity, and self-esteem. We are not meant to travel life alone. Letting someone who understands accompany you can help you get back in the driver's seat of your life again.

My clinical training & life experience have given me a well of compassion for what my clients are going through. They tell me they feel seen & understood. They trust me with the deepest parts of themselves and this is sacred ground. Clinical outcomes include increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, effective communication and boundary setting, and an overall reduction in stress responses.

I embrace the body/mind/spirit connection to reduce stress, build resilience, & help clients find an anchor during difficult times. The first session, we explore what brought you to therapy & how psychotherapy involving mindfulness, somatosensory awareness, & creative expression can help you find relief. One need not be creative. Art therapy is more like therapy than an art making session.
