Individual Therapy
I provide therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of strengths and challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I integrate expressive arts with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process feelings and experiences, reduce inner conflict, and improve relationships. Together, we will create a collaborative map for your healing and change.
I specialize in:
-
Trauma (single incident and complex developmental)
-
Grief and loss
-
Secondary trauma of helping professionals
-
Creativity blocks
-
Major life transitions
-
Depression
-
Anxiety
-
Personal growth
I believe:
-
Each person has within them what they need to heal and change.
-
All people are innately creative.
-
In meeting each client exactly where they are.
-
In unconditional positive regard, compassion, and authenticity.
-
In creating and holding space for safe explorations.
-
Healing and change are creative acts.
I have lost touch with my authentic creativity.
I am hurting, lonely, angry, scared.
I am strong.
I am a survivor.
I am grieving.
I long to connect with myself and with others.
I have resources but I need to remember how to access them.
I have lost my voice.
I want to sing
to use my voice
to cry
to scream
but I hold back
I am closed off. It’s safer that way.
But, I sense there is a better way. I am tired of being scared, angry, silent. I want to find my voice. I want to dance, to play, to feel joy. I want to shine.
I know there is a better way – to be, to live, to work, to love.
I am scared, angry, hurt, lost, but seeking a way forward.
A way to the light.
To the joy.
Listen.
