I have 20 years of experience working with trauma and major mental health challenges. I have trained in Art Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Focused Therapy and Yoga. Body based approaches can help rebuild self connection, support grounding and integrate intense emotions. Art Therapy engages the senses, supports creative problem solving and connection with pleasure and goodness in life often derailed by trauma or depression and anxiety.
My approach is collaborative, respectful and creative. You are unique. Ideally your therapist should respect and build on your strengths and resilience. I enjoy sharing from my tool kit and co-creating a personalize fit from current practice and evolving science. We will explore pragmatic tools and skills for navigating intense feelings and relationships.
It is my hope that you will feel heard and deeply respected. In addition, I hope to offer hope as we try on various frameworks, tools and skills to find what helps you feel powerful in your current life.
