Therapist
10 years of experience
- Virtual & in-person
- Substance use / addiction, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Women's issues
- Couples therapy, Individual therapy
My approach to therapy
My approach is compassionate, integrative, and creative. I provide a safe nurturing space. I utilize a combination of modalities which help clients tap into their imagination, body sensations, feelings, and thought processes in profound ways.
What you can expect from me
You do not need to be artistic to benefit from Expressive Arts Therapies. We all have the innate ability to be creative through use of movement, art, writing, sound, meditation, and imagery- all of which can be incorporated in our sessions together. Our first session will be an intake where I get to know you better and you can ask me any questions you have about therapy or our work together.
