Great to meet you!

I am non-judgmental, open-minded and solution focused. I have a trauma history of my own and I get it. I can shine a light on the path out of there. I will meet you where you are at and walk with you to a place that is happier and healthier. I am an art therapist, and believe in past life-times that have had an effect on who we have become. I was born into a conservative religion and escaped. I specialize in helping people leave organized religion.

My approach to therapy

I believe in the amazing power of listening to you, asking lots of questions and helping you see your worth. I will become a mirror for you to see how beautiful and competent you really are. I believe in the infinite worth of all humans and will help you find yours. I'm good at working with you to find creative solutions to all kinds of issues. I believe in finding and highlighting your strengths, and using these to help you heal. I also suffered trauma in my childhood, I understand and can pass on my knowledge of how to heal and become an assertive person.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to help you feel extremely empowered, confident and hopeful after every session. If you can't hold the hope yet; I'll hold it for you until you can.
