Therapy is a collaboration. You are the authority on your own experience and your own goals, and I respect that fact more than an average therapist. I want to know what you want to work on, and help you specifically with that. It takes courage to set on a path of healing and growth; I honor this by offering space to move towards your chosen goals at your own pace. You are a unique person, and so I do my best to individualize treatment to your values and intentions over preconceived ideas of what "healthy" means.
In addition to my qualifications as a therapist, I have a background in art and performance, and I love to work with artists, writers, animators, editors, directors, and actors to support their creative goals. I also have years of experience in Somatic Therapy, which addresses the physical symptoms of emotions.
Many people experience behaviors or compulsions—usually based on past traumas—that negatively impact their daily lives. Somatic Therapy is a form of healing this trauma in the body. It is especially helpful in decreasing compulsive behaviors, including addiction, and cultivating a sense of safety in one's body.
