If you’ve tried therapy before and felt like you were mostly talking about your problems, a more experiential and structured approach may be a better fit. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps, using EMDR, art therapy, somatic techniques, and practical coping tools tailored to your needs. My focus is on helping you understand your emotional patterns, process what keeps you stuck, and build skills that make daily life feel more manageable. Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and guided in a way that feels clear and empowering.

I integrate EMDR, art therapy, mindfulness, somatic techniques, and practical coping strategies based on your needs and goals. My style is collaborative, clear, and active. I will not sit silently and simply nod while you do all the talking. I ask thoughtful questions, offer direct feedback, and help you understand what is happening internally. Together, we work on processing experiences that continue to affect you and strengthening skills for grounding, emotional regulation, decision-making, and boundary-setting. Sessions are tailored to your pace while still providing direction and a clear sense of purpose.

Your first session is focused on understanding what brings you in, what has already been tried, and what you would like to change. We will begin identifying the patterns, triggers, and experiences that may be contributing to how you feel now. You can expect thoughtful questions, direct guidance, and a practical strategy you can begin using right away. By the end of the session, we will also have a clearer direction for our work together.
