My ideal client is someone who is willing and ready to make an active change in their life. As a creative and expressive therapist I work well with clients that are willing to utilize artistic strategies, view things from many perspectives, and use out of the box thinking. Those who wish to have a collaborative, warm, and empathetic therapeutic relationship are a great fit. I tend to work well with clients who struggle with things such as depression, anxiety, burn-out, women’s issues, LGBTQ+ issues, adjustment issues, or interpersonal issues and are prepared to collaboratively design specific and time-oriented goals.

You're overwhelmed, you feel disconnected from yourself, and your anxious thoughts take over more often than you wish they would. You want to get to the root of what's keeping you stuck. You've tried so many things to help yourself! Books, deep breathing, special routines, and all the coping skills in the world only help temporarily, or not at all. You want to feel like you know and can be yourself in all the areas of your life. You've always felt different than those around you - your life doesn't follow the status quo. You want to live authentically and experience more peace, connection, ease, and flow in your life. It's time.

In my work, I have found it is common for people to question if they are “crazy” or if something is “wrong” with them. More often than not, the answer is “no.” No, you are not crazy. No, something is not wrong with you. In fact, I wager quite the opposite is true. You are a survivor.

Life can be challenging and it is my belief that we all need support and connection to grow and thrive. In the twelve years I have worked with children and their families, I feel my ability to connect with my clients has been central to any progress made.

We all experience life circumstances that leave us feeling like we aren't ourselves, as we figure out ways to "just get by". Emotions and thoughts help us understand ourselves and our experiences! Maybe you are not sure how to feel better, maybe you are not ready to feel better, and maybe cannot even imagine how to feel better. That's okay. I meet people where they are and work with them to create a path forward.
