At times of grief, anxiety, turbulence, violence, or trauma, we often struggle to reconnect to our best selves and to act from a place of strength and clarity again. I provide compassionate accompaniment to help children, adolescents, and adults restore balance, joy, stability, peace, and self-knowledge.
Expressive arts, cognitive behavioral therapy, a strengths focus, and acknowledgement of systems, traumas, and relationships that impact us - these can help for renewal. I will team up with you to establish a better life, internally and externally. I will hold space for you to express your full self and to bring parts of yourself in conflict into harmony.
Our sturdy connection provides the foundation for this work. I welcome children through elders into my practice, and I use a hybrid approach including in-person and remote sessions. Please email or call me to set up a free initial consultation and to ask any questions. Thanks and care!
