With over 20 years of experience, I offer both traditional talk psychotherapy and art psychotherapy to help you find your emotional voice whether it be about a current situation that is causing you distress or something from your past or future. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) which focuses on healing by understanding and compassionately relating to ourselves, rather than just suppressing symptoms. By engaging your own compassion and clarity, IFS allows healing for the wounded "exiled” parts of us, which reduces the need for extreme protective behaviors.
We often hold on to thoughts, behaviors, feelings that seem too overwhelming to share. We fear being vulnerable. We run from difficult feelings, thoughts. We feel ashamed of our emotional "baggage". We often try to hide these under a mask because of shame, fear, and anxiety. But hiding in shame only makes us feel isolated, empty and experience self hatred.
My goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen and heard. Through our work together, we will achieve insight, compassion, authenticity, and more flexible coping strategies to bring a sense of peace. I am dedicated to helping you reconnect to your voice, your truth, break from old patterns, develop new coping strategies 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.
