What to Expect

I’ approach our work with the belief that you possess innate goodness and the capacity to heal.

Sessions are rooted in therapeutic art making, somatic and mindful practices, and evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT and EMDR.

Therapy sessions often include a combination of conversation, expressive art-making, guided meditation, and breath work. Through these methods, you’ll learn to lead a more balanced, self-connected and joyful life.

I help women and parents who are struggling with…

People Pleasing

Helping women break cycles of people pleasing and perfectionism. People pleasing and perfectionism are survival strategies that often develop in childhood experiences where acceptance felt conditional or unpredictable.

Parenting / Mothering

I help parents who want to create a more harmonious relationship with themselves - and their child. Whether you are stuck in power struggles, cycle breaking generational trauma, or who want resources to parent more effectively, I can help.

Trauma and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)

C-PTSD can develop in response to experiencing ongoing childhood abuse or neglect, as well as inconsistent, invalidating, or emotionally unavailable caregiver(s). Treatment for C-PTSD IS possible! Past life events don’t have to run your life.

Self-Worth & Relationships

How you feel about yourself shapes your relationships. When you heal the inner dialogue of not-enoughness, everything shifts. You can start feeling truly seen, valued, and connected.

Anxiety

Anxiety may show up as replaying what you said or didwrong”, difficulty relaxing, constant future thinking, muscle tension, or feeling on-edge. However anxiety and panic are treatable. I can help you create more calm, and feel more safe and at home within yourself.

Burnout & Work Life Balance

I help individuals and teams improve wellness and work-life balance through group and individual services focused on burnout prevention, stress reduction, and emotional resilience building!
