With over 20 years of experience, I utilize talk and art therapy to help you find your voice whether it be about a current situation that is causing you distress or something from your past or future. We hold on to thoughts, behaviors and feelings that seem too overwhelming to share with others. We fear vulnerability. We run from difficult feelings/thoughts and feel ashamed of our emotional "baggage". Then, we try to hide under a mask because of shame, fear, and anxiety. Hiding in shame only makes us feel isolated, empty and experience self hatred. We become disconnected from ourselves and others as a way of coping.
We will work to uncover how experiences have affected your nervous system and created very limiting coping strategies. It is so important that you feel heard, seen and safe with me. I will encourage you to express feelings, fears, identities, insecurities, memories to reconnect with your body to promote healing, growth and new ways of coping.
You will learn to find inner strengths, connection to yourself and connection to others. We will accomplish insight, compassion, authenticity, less rigid coping strategies, a sense of purpose, and relaxation. I want to help you feel more connected to your life, to remember your truth, dislodge old patterns and reconnect to joy.

Groups
Women's Art Therapy Group
Hello and thank you for your interest. I am hoping to start a Women's Art Psychotherapy Group that would meet twice a month. The group will offer a safe and supportive environment to process thoughts, feelings and ways in which we cope. This group will be a confidential and judgment free zone. Please let me know if you are interested, I will compile a list of potential members and hopefully we can start a group soon. At this time, the group will be virtual. And let's see if we can apply your insurance benefits to help pay the fee.
