Art Therapy allows my clients to express their emotions and experiences through a physical representation to process collaboratively. This could be through drawing, painting or other forms of art making through both a free making and directive experience, depending on your need for session. I have found this allows us to view something experienced internally outside of ourselves, and allows us to interact with our experiences creatively and in a contained/safe environment.

I believe our early attachments affect our current relationships. I assist you in exploring those relationships, as well as your current ones, with identifying attachment style and how those relationships impacted you.

Anxiety and stress can be part of our everyday lives. I provide a space to explore stressors, while also providing grounding techniques and coping skills.

I focus on a trauma-informed lens to create a safe space and be mindful of the experiences you have had. I provide a collaborative approach that allows you to go at your pace while processing trauma. I have worked with those experiencing different types of abuse such as sexual abuse, religious trauma, and child abuse. My hope is to build rapport, create a safe space, provide validation, and help you explore abuse and trauma.

I focus on trauma around religion and spirituality. Whether you have adopted ideals that no longer work for you, or experienced abuse in religious spaces, it can make a big impact on anxiety and identity. I focus on processing this with you, and offering a safe space to deconstruct ideals that may no longer serve you or process traumatic events around religion.
