☼ My therapeutic approach begins within relational theory and a deep belief in the importance of a safe therapeutic relationship within which healing can occur. 

​

☼ Rooted in compassion, curiosity, and cultural awareness, I tailor therapy to each individual client, using a combination of somatic, narrative, and expressive arts therapies, as well as mindfulness based cognitive therapy.  

​

☼ Our bodies and minds hold untold stories. Through a mindful combination of talking, movement, and creative expression, we can metabolize trauma, emotions, and challenging experiences.

​

☼ This may look like processing past experiences and upbringing, learning and practicing coping tools for dealing with present day struggles, processing emotions and internal narratives, learning to attune to our bodies, expression through creative means beyond speech, such as movement or drawing.

​

☼ This process is collaborative. Not all of the above elements are always present - we use what works for us.

​

☼ I welcome all layers of my clients’ identities, including intergenerational and ancestral traumas, spirituality, and mystical experiences. 

​

☼ Ultimately, I emphasize self-empowerment and deep self-knowledge, with the aim to increase balance, harmony, and resilience.

​

☼ Together we will create a plan for our work together, and will check in on a regular basis about how it's going.
