About me
I am a creative, trauma informed therapist specializing in Expressive Arts, Somatics, parts work/IFS, and EMDR.
My passion is working with couples, adults and teens who enjoy creativity, supporting with trauma recovery, relationships, identity, anxiety, and creative passions and careers. I have experience with LGBTQ community, non-traditional relationships, expats, nomads, travelers and sailors.
Together we can work on shifting relationships, adapting to life changes, improving communication, building connection and understanding. Internally, building strength, processing trauma, shifting patterns, finding your sense of self, and moving towards what fulfills you.
I believe the therapeutic relationship needs to have safety, trust, respect, and honest communication, so I collaborate to create an environment and approach that feels supportive for you. I look forward to meeting you and working together to make your life less stressful and more enjoyable.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation, and can provide superbills for out-of-network clients.
