How does loneliness show up in your relationships? Are you more a fight-type, freeze-type or a fawn-type? Without clear boundaries you might be falling into people-pleasing habits, stuck feeling rigid, uncreative, and alone in your responsibilities. You may have unexplainable physical sensations of constriction, pain or numbness that ramp up with stress. I use somatic techniques and creative arts therapies to help you access your innate playfulness and flexibility so you can relax into intimacy in your connections, to others and to your body.
We begin by exploring what’s brought you to this point in your life. Don’t know what to talk about? I guide your experience and offer opportunities to use creative and somatic techniques to support your self-expression. We co-create intentions and exercises to deepen the work in between sessions.
When you start therapy you may feel unsteady. My MA in Creative Arts Therapy, my training in Sex Therapy, plus my 6 years in clinical practice supporting queer&trans and neurodivergent communities all inform my direct and compassionate approach to reconnect to your innate flexibility and playfulness.
