I'm a Body-based Creative Therapist, Artist and Yoga Teacher using the practices of art, dance, paint, music, somatics & mindfulness to help with relaxation, nervous system grounding & balancing, increasing confidence and feelings of joy.
I've taught mindfulness, IFS, and DBT for 15 years. I love helping women, service providers, creatives & families gain joy and safety. I'm a trauma and chronic illness survivor so I understand the effects of stress on the body and how to help heal it. Sessions begin with mindfulness & movement at your pace, include somatic check-ins & an art/paint practice
Our survival traits protect us by separating us from the body to keep us safe and we lose access to our Self. It can feel like depression, emptiness, loss of passion & pleasure, isolation, burnout, tension or self criticism about your body. Or maybe you've done talk therapy, want to connect to your creativity or be more active & social. I also teach emotion regulation skills in my virtual DBT Group.
