For over 15 years I have worked with adults, children, and teens, providing a compassionate, safe, and non- judgmental approach to address issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, life transitions, and more. I offer an integrative approach combing various therapeutic modalities with the creative arts which helps you connect to your fullest potential and find your voice. By combining expressive arts with talk, we can make progress towards your goals even when it feels difficult to find the right words. My younger clients usually make art regularly, while my older clients often choose to do so more sporadically. Additionally, a number of my clients prefer talk therapy alone. Trauma, both big and small, is an area that I'm incredibly passionate about, and brain research continues to grow supporting the benefits of the creative process which engages both mind and body to heal trauma. Additionally, I strive to always be up to date with brain and nervous system research to support clients in healing from emotional distress, whether or not they choose to engage creatively. More than anything, I value the power of connection with my clients and believe that healing occurs within the context of trust and collaboration. Therapy can sometimes be hard work, but my office (both physical and virtual) is a warm and supportive environment dedicated to self exploration, growth, and healing. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and create the growth that you are seeking for yourself or a loved one.
