I am passionate about story, visual arts, paying attention to attachment wounds, and a holistic view of the person as emotional, spiritual, and physical. I enjoy using therapeutic art practices with my clients to explore many aspects of hurt and healing. I have several years of experience working in mental and behavioral health treatment, with a variety of ages. I currently desire to work with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, codependency, trauma post-traumatic stress, and other life stressors. I believe we are formed by both the things we have experienced and the relationships we have been a part of.
As a therapist, I desire to explore alongside my clients both their pains and their joys. Health looks different for different people and I think it’s important to consider one’s values as well as their resources!
I am passionate about helping clients to gain these resources so that they feel they have lifelines and help in whatever struggles they are facing. I believe we have each been created uniquely and that we are complex individuals who are often doing the best we can with what we have been given.
