As a psychotherapist I strive to assist my clients in the process of becoming more whole in all aspects of their lives. My primary training is as an art therapist and I use an integrative approach to promote healing. I find that enhancing talk therapy with experiential methods gives my clients the freedom to express their deepest selves. Within the therapeutic relationship we can find the existing internal nuances and textures that make us all unique and valuable. My work includes seeing individual adults who have depression/anxiety, past trauma, addiction related issues and relationship challenges.
I have worked with clients who have difficulty articulating deep emotions stemming from early life experiences as well as those with more cognitive and current issues. Often past experiences can impact a person's thoughts and behaviors and cause conflicts in the present. Attaining personal power is releasing that which controls us.
I've worked with clients from many stages of life using art, EMDR, body awareness, vizualization and relaxation methods to help ease stress and integrate repressed material. I work with clients through experiential processes to reveal unconscious material that prevents self-acceptance. Clients build confidence and discover new meaning and purpose in life.
