When difficult emotions or experiences interfere with our ability to enjoy life, it can be hard to figure out what to do. Therapy begins as a conversation and progresses into a relationship, creating a foundation for exploring present and past difficulties. Working together, we will explore areas where you might feel stuck or lost, uncover internal strengths and build coping strategies for navigating life‘s difficulties. I believe in building authentic connections with people where they can be listened to and cared for, allowing them to truly be themselves. My approach is interactive, respectful and client centered, understanding that the decision to begin therapy is not one that is taken lightly, but is often the first step towards the journey that can help establish goals, regain control and move toward a strengthened sense of self and healthier, happier relationships. Adding art therapy enhances the journey. Deciding you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone is a sign of strength and courage. Working together we will confront painful thoughts, feelings and memories and begin the journey of healing. Using mindfulness & self-care practices, along with art therapy and Brainspotting, we rebuild self-esteem and release traumatic energy and experiences.
