About My Clients
I provide a safe space to creatively heal trauma, learn nervous system regulation tools and explore your authentic self as a creative. People who experience the most success with me want to use expressive arts and mindfulness to increase embodiment, unlearn limiting beliefs and learn tools for nervous system regulation decreasing feelings of anxiety and depression. I am especially skilled at working with children and youth to heal from trauma and learn social-emotional skills.
My Background and Approach
My approach is grounded in expressive arts, eco therapy, mindfulness and movement with the intention of learning self-regulation and experiencing co-regulation. I love being a therapist and I am honored to hold peoples’ stories; supporting them on the journey of reclaiming their power, confidence and making their dreams a reality. I’m originally from Kentucky, but you can now find me in the beautiful Bellingham, WA. I can provide insight on various experiences with trauma including childhood & religious trauma, purity culture, climate grief, narcissistic abuse, oppression and interpersonal-violence. I use an experiential therapy approach so you can make meaning of your own healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about creating a safe space to explore and embrace your authentic self. I have a non-pathologizing approach, understanding that our nervous system adapts to protect us from possible threats. Although this can be helpful in times of crisis or danger, we can get stuck in these responses feeling afraid, on edge anxious or numb. This limits our ability to imagine, connect and create. I approach therapy with a systems lens, identifying root causes of mental health issues that may stem from events of the past, our family, community or our overall experience in society. We have the power to discover our most authentic self and begin to live our life in a way that is most aligned, fostering confidence, emotional regulation, joy, creativity and imagination.
