The clients I work alongside of often seek reflection and changes in their life. This can sometimes be scary, painful, intimidating and occasionally leading to leave things as they are. However in my experience, the thirst for a more fulfilling life is always present. Sometimes hiding behind a hobby or creative interest, music we listen to, places that make us feel at home or a certain moment of the year when we feel more hopeful. I deeply enjoy helping my clients find those special pieces of fulfillment together. With time and intention, these later become the foundation for healing, change, and deeper reflection.
I am a bilingual Art Therapist, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner; with a specialty in trauma-informed theories, EMDR, and relational therapeutic perspectives. I often work somatically alongside clients to assist in connecting psychological experiences and emotions to their body to support personal self-growth.
There’s an eagerness for more from life when we suffer, which is why we most commonly decide to start therapy. In working together, my intention is to collaboratively help you find the life you want to live, regain your access to love and play, and expand your experience of a shared humanity.
