Expressing one's self and naming emotions can be exhausting. Specifically men have told me "no one ever taught or allowed me to express myself from when I was a kid". Not being able to communicate and express yourself will eventually stunt growth in relationships and in personal development. However, the arts add a variety and texture to the verbal that can be described, shaped and...transformed. This allows us to return back to the first ways we communicated in our early years which turns into a freeing experience. You begin to engage differently with yourself, others and start to have a clear plan for your wellbeing.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and parents who have experienced one or multiple traumas during their childhood.
