Specialties
Attachment Trauma
For adults who grew up with abusive, inconsistent, invalidating, or emotionally unavailable parents or caregivers.
People Pleasing
People pleasing and perfectionism are survival strategies that people develop after going through experiences where acceptance felt conditional or unpredictable .
Anxiety & Panic
Anxiety may show up as replaying what you said or did “wrong”, difficulty relaxing, future thinking, muscle tension, or feeling “on-edge”.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Treatment for distressing life event(s) such as an assault, abuse, bullying, medical trauma, or other terrifying experiences.
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)
C-PTSD is a response to long-term, relational trauma — like childhood abuse, neglect, parentification, or domestic violence — and often leads to shame, guilt, low self-worth, and struggles with close relationships.
Parenting
Coaching for parents who are stuck in power struggles, or who simply want better resources to parent more effectively.
Workplace Wellness
I help teams and companies improve workplace wellness through workshops focused on burnout prevention and stress reduction.
Anger
Anger is a healthy emotion. However, when anger and rage are taking over your life, it may be a sign of unprocessed emotions, experiences or unmet needs.
Self-Worth & Relationships
Healthy relationships start with a strong sense of self-worth. When you believe you are deserving of respect, and love, you set healthier boundaries.
What’s it like to work with an Art Therapist?
Talk Therapy: As a Licensed Art Therapist, I’m trained in talk therapies, too! The amount of ‘talk’ therapy differs depending on my clients needs.
Art Making: We’ll explore creative modalities such as creative writing, drawing, painting (and more) to help you express, connect and heal.
Mindfulness: I regularly use trauma-informed breath work, guided meditation and visualizations to help you regulate stress and feel more safe in your body and help you settle your nervous system.
Evidence-Based Techniques: We’ll engage in therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills in addition to creative and mindful modalities.
FAQ
-
No. There are various ways that I infuse creativity into session such as with guided visualizations and creative writing if art making is not ‘your thing’.
You don’t need to be an artist or artistic to work with an Art Therapist.
