Expressive Arts Therapists in South Windsor, CT

Sexuality is so challenging to talk about for most people that getting to the point where you are online this minute searching for a therapist comfortable talking about it with you is a major success. Even if you get no further than this sentence right now, you have already overcome a monumental hurdle; you will be able to do it again, and your next search will be easier. The path to sexual fulfillment can be grueling to navigate alone, and I am happy to explore whatever is on your mind regarding your sexuality, be it pleasure challenges, trauma, sexual or gender identity, non-monogamy, kink, addiction, and everything in between.

Hello and Welcome! Making the decision to pursue therapy is one of the bravest and most courageous one can make. I am here to support you on this journey of becoming the best version of yourself.

You know therapy can help, but it's taken a while for you to be ready for it. You know you need to talk about your trauma, but you also have day-to-day stress that's affecting you - parenting or school, friendships or relationships that are stressing you out. Some days are harder than others but you just want to feel better.

We offer every client the opportunity to develop their sense of self-worth, build a greater alignment with their true identity, and move them toward finding purpose and meaning in their own lives. We believe that every person, no matter their mental health condition, feels contented when they have begun their wellness journey; with help from their therapeutic provider, and is learning to live in gratitude, forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and acceptance. Although this goal may seem lofty, we have never met any person who could not find their way to these ideals, and through them learn to manage their overall depression and anxiety.

Feeling stuck; unable to "move" or make a decision; weighed down with uncertainty? Are you in transition? Is your situation putting forth exciting and different options and you need to make a decision with certainty? Do you experience performance anxiety?

Are you stressed out? Are you having relationship problems or family conflict? Are you depressed and sad? Come in and talk about some of the things that are impacting your life. Start working on solutions to be the best you can be in a non-judgmental, respectful and safe place. Throughout my career I've worked with diverse populations specializing in relationship issues, stress, anger management, trauma, depression, addictions, anxiety; and more. Sometimes talking to a neutral person helps to start the healing process.

Life is full of unique challenges. I can help you meet those challenges head on by working together to develop strategies to navigate through life stressors. My belief is that each and every one of us can maximize the use of all our senses to become better connected with ourselves and our environment. I would be happy and honored to help you achieve healing and personal growth. Acknowledging and validating who we are by what we see, hear, taste, smell, and touch is important. Let's take the journey of learning together!
