I believe that true healing happens when a challenge is addressed holistically, and when the client is seen as a whole person. Therapy with me is a safe space to explore your connection with any uncomfortable emotions, disruptive thoughts and behavioral patterns, as well as, complicated relationships with the individuals in your life. I am especially passionate about working with those who suffer with pain and trauma from the past and who are interested in exploring how it affects their everyday life.

To be your therapist is to be your collaborator in honoring the power of your feelings. I believe you to be the expert on your Self, and will work with you to navigate stressors and challenges specific to your experience. Together, we will develop and work towards your goals with compassion, empowerment, and insight-oriented dialogue. I emphasize the interconnectedness of the mind and the body, the values of neurodiversity, and the importance of both safe and brave spaces.

Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.

Sometimes, core parts of who we are fall outside of what is considered normal or acceptable. It can feel impossible to understand yourself. You might feel invisible or wonder if you’re really the problem. You know that hiding these parts of yourself doesn’t feel right and isn’t sustainable. At the same time, you question whether it’s worth all the pain that might come from fully exploring and expressing yourself without hiding your identity, isolating from others, or masking. You may already have a strong sense of your identity and know what would help but feel that it's not accessible or possible.

It's not easy being a child, teen; or a parent of either. When it comes to challenges in communication, self regulation, and emotional progressing; therapy provides space and skills to facilitate change. As a fellow Neurodivergent, I have a great deal of empathy and passion in working with various types of brains and focus on tailoring care to the needs of an individual. Whether we're wired different through genetics or trauma, there is a path to growth and wellness.

Reaching out for help when our lives become unmanageable or challenging can seem overwhelming and even insurmountable at times. Whether trauma, anxiety, or relational - healing is not linear, there is an ebb and flow we must experience to find our true selves. Sitting in transitional moments of emotion as we process memories and experiences is often considered the most important part of the therapeutic journey. It is in these moments we find clarity, knowledge, deep meaning, love, and strength. These moments become the catalyst for change.

As a queer and trans identified therapist, I personally understand how painful it can be to go to someone for support and be met with microaggressions, rejection, or outright hostility because of your marginalized identity. Therapy can be a transformative tool of self-discovery and a place to collaboratively develop a roadmap to a life filled with deep meaning and joy. But if your therapist does not understand or accept crucial parts of who you are, it can be deeply damaging and disheartening. If you have had experiences like these, I may be a good fit to provide you with the culturally competent therapy you deserve.

Art therapy is not just about being able to express yourself but also being able to process and explore what is made. My role as an art therapist is to help with the processing and exploration through meeting you where you are, actively listening to what you bring into the space, and providing you with the art materials and directives that best suit your needs and where you are at. As an art therapist, it is important for me to provide a safe space, active listening, empathy, cultural humility, and open-mindedness to clients, as well as being trauma-informed.

Life is full of feelings whether we like it or not. If you are struggling to identify your emotions and what they mean, you are not alone. Trauma, transitions, and a history of a lack of emotional guidance can make it feel as though you are grasping at straws. If you have children of your own you want to teach, this can be even more overwhelming. No matter the reason for this sense of overwhelm, you do not have to go through this journey of self compassion alone. I am a firm believer that we all have a “toolbox” of coping skills. Some may be empty, some filled with rusty tools, and others are just out of reach.
