Are you seeking deeper connection to self, in relationships and to your community as a whole? Does it feel difficult to locate your needs and desires, because you are lost in a sea of thoughts? Perhaps you are unsure where to begin, feeling overwhelmed or find it difficult to trust yourself? I am here to support you in identifying the root of these limiting thought patterns by tending to your emotional landscape and cultivating an embodied sense of trust.
As a contemplative art therapist, I emphasize creative expression, experiential process and spirituality as a means of self-discovery. I believe in the healing power of empathic relationship and in co-creating a therapeutic space that feels safe. I am social justice oriented, incorporating a keen awareness of cultural humility and trauma sensitivity.
In session I will help you to identify unhealthy relational patterns, locate your needs and develop trust in yourself. We will explore tools of self-awareness, such as art processes, tracking bodily sensations and mindfulness that meet you exactly where you are. Through this you can heal and experience a more authentic, fulfilling life.
