Finding relief and healing can be daunting, how do we even start? Maybe you feel that you shouldn’t need help or that you don’t deserve it. Maybe you’re used to saying, “I’m fine,” but you feel lonely, lost, and stuck. It's frustrating when you know there's life, a story, a voice, inside you longing to be expressed, but you just can’t seem to figure out how to reconnect. I'm here with you, and I'm here to help you be with You.

Treatment Approach

Approach Description: I have 15+ years of psychotherapy training, blending Somatic, Gestalt, and Creative arts therapy to generate a dynamic, holistic, and experiential therapy. Sometimes, "thinking" or "talking" about problems is not enough, and a deeper level of experience and creativity is needed to get to the heart of a difficult situation. Clients often find that the somatic and creative process gets to the roots of what’s happening to enact behavior change more effectively. Book your free consultation today.
