Teletherapy for 05482

Feeling stuck? Wondering how you got to where you are in life? Relationship issues? Overwhelmed? Sad? Wanting to make a change but don't know where to begin? These are often the concerns my clients bring into therapy. Through our work together, we find the way forward; no issue is too big or too small. Counseling can help and contrary to popular belief, it can be fun and healing at the same time!

My therapy practice is a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to lean in toward themselves and make contact with what is present at this time in their lives. I use tools from body-centered psychotherapy, life coaching, meditation, and mindfulness to enhance self- awareness, self-compassion, forgiveness, and healing. I believe that we each hold within a map of our own journey along with answers to our questions and inquiries. I view my role as a therapist to be a mirror, reflecting back your wisdom. I offer tools that help build confidence and resilience as you begin to navigate your life from a place of deep inner knowing.

As a doctoral-level psychologist, certified creativity coach, and visual artist, I bring a unique blend of skills and over 25 years of experience helping individuals create more vibrant and fulfilling lives. By cultivating awareness and getting to know ourselves deeply, we are freed up to live the life we choose rather than being held hostage to depression, anxiety, fear, and old patterns that no longer serve us. Working from an integrative, collaborative orientation, I support clients in translating insight into action to make positive changes in their lives and relationships.

We all arrive on this Earth with a plan. Sometimes the plan gets muddled, confusing and scary. Sometimes our labeling of these experiences as “bad” can create stagnation in growth and deny us the insight that we need to stretch into our higher versions of self. When we become aware of this, choice in growth is present. Growth is constant and never ending, especially during challenging times/barriers. However, we only grow when we embrace and feel curious about the uncomfortability. Making space for curiosity allows for integration of wisdom brought by the lessons in our suffering.

There are times in our lives when our repetitive and unexamined emotional experiences can cloud our ability to see our lives with clarity. Through a supportive and strong counseling relationship, we can gain valuable insights into our hearts and minds to make meaningful changes in our actions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through these changes, we can relieve suffering within ourselves and in our relationships and uncover the untapped joy in life. If you are suffering, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support your journey through the challenges you face.

I enjoy working with people who are curious about who they are and what feelings and ideas make them unique. At times we all become confused or discouraged in the pursuit of our personal goals or in the relationships with those close to us. It is at these moments we can use the help of someone trained to listen carefully and help us to untangle some of the misperceptions or distortions that may be getting in our way. It is a humbling and hopeful experience to embark on therapy to make change in ourselves.

I have limited openings for new patients, clinical supervision and parent consults. My training and experience as an art therapist and in psychoanalysis forms the premise of my work. It is deep work where we will explore together the meaning of your symptoms and attempt to understand and resolve them so that you are able to live more freely and with intention. I can help you gain new insights into the unconscious parts of the disturbances in your life that prove to be irresolvable without psychotherapy.

Everyone has their own path in life and their own meanings to make from their experiences. I believe therapy is a place to uncover your inherent capacity for healing and explore what is authentic and meaningful for you. Together, we will explore your patterns of relationship with others and create new ways of being. Through the therapeutic relationship, you get to explore all parts of yourself and find your agency as a human in this world. For couples, we will work on communicating honestly and explore the defenses and dynamics that impact your ability to work together.

My therapy practice hopes to provide a healing and supportive space for you. Within this space, we can look at what is happening in your life. Life sometimes presents many challenges. Counseling is a great way to gain self awareness, promoting growth and support to navigate life as a human being. Through self growth we are able to learn acceptance about ourselves and the situations around us. Or make changes to things we want to be different. Understanding our own humanity provides a helpful perspective. My hope is to support you to experience your own life in the way that you are wanting to.

My style is collaborative and compassionate; My clients tell me that I am comfortable to be with, and easy to talk to. I work with children and adults to help them prioritize their values, identify and integrate feelings/emotions, support positive self-concept, reduce stress and worry, and work towards the client's personal, academic, relationship, wellbeing, and social-emotional goals. My work is eclectic and grounded in theory - including, Humanistic (“Whole Child’, "Whole Self"), and Psycho-dynamic (with attention to the interpersonal relationship of client and therapist as a model for meaning-making and self-reflection.).

I believe in working with clients to develop a treatment plan specific to their needs. I take the client-therapist relationship seriously and seek to help one find solace to the best of my ability.

I cherish creativity in the process of discerning self-care interventions that work for clients, as well.

Individuals of all gender, sexual, and racial identities are welcome at my practice! I believe in the importance of providing a safe and affirming space for individuals to feel curious about and explore themselves, their experiences, and their relationships.

I always hope to act as a fellow traveler with folks on their journeys to find and create meaning. I also believe in the importance of empowerment and a positive therapeutic relationship.

Adolescence and young adulthood is a difficult time of transformation and change for both young people and their families. The process of identity formation and separation/individuation from the family system can sometimes involve conflict and relational strain for all members of the family. Acting out behaviors, both externally (aggression, disrespect, substance use) and internally (withdrawal, isolation, self harm) can be unhealthy ways of expressing that individuality. Increased rigidity, control and consequence sometimes makes things worse. It's a complicated time with complicated solutions that are different for everyone.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who wish for some kind of change in their lives. Common therapeutic goals for the people I work with include, a desire for increased closeness with family and friends, the ability to experience feelings more clearly, a stronger sense of self-worth, and more effective communication within families. People often wish to develop the ability to tolerate individual and collective pain, without doing themselves and each other harm. Most are seeking compassion and understanding. My commitment is to offering that compassion, and to supporting people in achieving their own understanding.

I work with a person to identify their concerns , to help them solve their presenting difficulty's. People are often surprised that they can solve a problem much more quickly than they expected. I tailor my approach to the needs of the individual.
