Are you a person that is creative, expressive, and interested in more out of therapy than simply talking through things? I am an "outside of the box" therapist combining body based, creative, mindful practices in session, tailoring an individual and unique approach to fit your needs. I work to create an emotionally safe environment, free of judgment, supporting your strengths & helping you develop insight, understanding, & strategies to support you as you move through therapy.
I bring a collaborative approach & eclectic style to session, stemming from my training in Expressive Arts Psychotherapy, meditation, trauma, grief, & neurodiversity. In addition to talking, a session may include using your creativity, the senses, mindful practice, & more as a way shifting old patterns that are getting in the way of living your best life.
Each of us has unique needs & concerns when starting something like therapy. I have had the privilege of supporting diverse people for the last 25 years as they walk through their healing process, and would be honored to support you as well. Feel free to contact me for your free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
