"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

Our minds are often full of made up stories we have been telling ourselves for years. Often, they are stories that have been written based on who others have told us we are or are "supposed" to be. My clients are those who want to rewrite the stories that create a sense of heaviness or limit their life experience, including stories full of anxiety and negative thoughts. I help those who are looking to find inner peace, clarity, a better understanding of themselves, and freedom from the heaviness our minds and life experiences can bring.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Looking for solace away from all the noise? Many people feel they have to carry the weight of their struggles all on their own. Big or small, nothing should be handled alone, and you don't have to! In art therapy, you can explore and express yourself in a judgment-free space, along with the opportunity to incorporate the creative process into your healing process. I believe a therapeutic relationship is built on authenticity, compassion, and openness. With a holistic person-centered approach, I incorporate mind-body connections via art therapy to create meaning after trauma.
