About My Clients
Do you find yourself overwhelmed with emotions and at a loss with how to cope? Or at times, totally disconnected and numb and wondering why you can't feel anything at all? Do patterns or feelings from your past seem to creep into your dealings today? Our feelings can take a lot of energy to work through and understand. I can help you explore how to express, understand, and use this energy to move your life in the direction that you want.
My Background and Approach
When we meet, I like to focus upon first building connection and trust so that we may feel comfortable doing this exploration together. Though I have years of specialized training and experience in many tools and techniques to support you, YOU are the expert in your life. Our time together will be collaborative and I want to empower your voice and your strengths in this journey. Some of the primary tools I use are teaching present moment and body awareness (as in mindfulness based and somatic therapies), and then using expressive arts such as visual art, movement, music or writing to process what you learn. When we get stuck, I'm able to use motivational interviewing to help explore what it is that is driving you. If you have experienced trauma, I have extensive training and experience in helping people work through the impact of their experiences. I can also offer EMDR therapy. My goal is to help you feel confident in your ability to weather any storm.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a therapist, flower and tree enthusiast, parent, survivor and creative. I enjoy being outdoors, am curious, and I like to get my hands in dirt, paint, or anywhere I can enjoy the messy process of learning. I’m interested in social justice, sustainability and supporting folks dealing with all the -isms out there. I look forward to journeying with you.
