I have been specifically trained in EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, expressive arts, Emotionally Focused Therapy (for work with couples), and sand tray therapy.
I believe that everyone has the ability within them to engage with, manage, and heal from life’s challenges, and that therapy provides the space, methods, and tools to do so. I believe peace and well-being are developed through a balance of learning to accept things as they are, while also striving to improve each day. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe environment for individuals to express themselves fully, to help them see themselves as the incredible people they already are, and assist them in moving towards the person they want to be.

I am trained in a variety of modalities including sand/play/ expressive arts, trauma therapies such as EMDR and IFS and talk therapies such as client-centered and mindfulness-based therapies.
At some point, you may have felt like you've lost sight of who you are and what you want. Whether that's due to mental illness, trauma, low self-worth, relationship challenges, or unexpected life changes, sometimes you just need someone to help guide you, and be present with you, through the struggle. I specialize in working with shame, perfectionism, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, anxiety, faith transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues. I believe that each individual has within them the ability to heal, grow, thrive, and become their true selves. It is my goal to help my clients harness that ability.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are - Carl Jung… This quote has been my guiding inspiration on my own journey and in my work with others. It can be so easy to lose yourself in the day to day endeavor of living. This can be particularly true for those who have suffered with a history of trauma. Fortunately, within a trusting therapeutic relationship, it is possible to find yourself and become the person you truly are. I have witnessed this happen again and again.

A session with me may include EMDR, expressive arts, internal family systems (IFS), psychodrama, yoga, sand tray, or time in nature in addition to traditional talk therapies such as CPT and DBT.
It can be discouraging to feel deeply that something is wrong in your mind or body, but not know how to fix it or change. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, or relationship issues. Feelings of hopelessness or frustration can be overwhelming, but I can assure you - you are not broken. Everything you need to heal is already inside you, and I am here to walk with you as you reconnect with that inherent wisdom. Talk therapy alone may not be enough to tap into your inner knowing and heal your wounded parts. If you're ready to move beyond talk therapy, this is the place for you.

In life, difficult situations occur. These experiences can make us anxious, question ourselves and our self-worth, and affect our ability to connect with others and plan for the future we desire. Through EMDR, ART, and a mix of other empirically based modalities, it is possible to heal from past trauma, feel more empowered, and increase life satisfaction generally. I have been in the field for twenty years and a therapist for thirteen. I have also been an administrator, supervisor, and trainer for therapists. During that time, I have come to appreciate how change is possible in our lives and in our relationships with others.

Hi, I'm Reevkah and I'm so glad you're here. Life can be difficult, and finding joy can feel out of reach. But I have seen the transformative power of therapy bring happiness to clients who didn't believe it could happen for them. I feel lucky to be part of my client's journey to reaching their goals - which are more attainable than we usually realize. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, mom-guilt, infertility, faith crises, trauma and relationship concerns.

Expressive Arts Therapists
What happens in expressive arts therapy?
In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.
How long does expressive arts therapy take?
An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.
How does expressive arts therapy help children?
Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.
What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?
Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
