Gestalt work keeps us in the present moment. We notice what you're experiencing in your body, your emotions, and between us. My Gestalt approach blends with IFS-informed parts work, so when a part of you stirs, we slow down and get curious about it rather than explaining it away. That usually means giving that part of self a voice or an image on the page, so it can be heard and understood. The present moment holds a lot of information, and we let it guide the work.

Depth therapy looks beneath the surface of what brings you in. We explore not just what's happening, but why, tracing how early experiences, unconscious beliefs, and relational patterns still shape your present. It's like following the roots of a tree to understand the leaves. As we bring these deeper layers into awareness, old wounds can begin to heal and lasting change becomes possible. Art and the here-and-now often open these doors more gently than words alone.

Art psychotherapy is my primary modality, which means the creative process is central to how we work. Drawing, painting, collage, or sculpture can reach pre-verbal, body-held, and emotionally charged material that talk alone often can't touch. Sessions may look like making something then getting curious about what surfaced, or using art for grounding and regulation. You never have to be good at art. The willingness to engage the process is what matters.

Some of what you carry began in your own life, and some of it was handed down long before you arrived. Both types of trauma live in the body, often before we have words for them. I view this pain not as a personal flaw, but as the imprint of what you and those before you have survived. We can get curious about the parts of you holding onto the past, then use art and body-based awareness to witness these stories and gently loosen their grip. You don't have to carry it alone, or carry it forward.

As a queer therapist, I know how tiring it is to explain yourself before you can be understood. Here, you don't have to. Many of my clients are queer, trans, and nonbinary adults ready to set down the mask and just be. I work from a relational-cultural lens: much of what we carry comes not from something wrong with us, but from heteronormativity, transphobia, and a lifetime of absorbed messages. We use art and real relationship to help you feel at home in yourself. Come as you are.

If you're the capable one who holds it all together, you may know a kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix. Many of my clients are helpers and caregivers worn down by systems that weren't built to sustain the people inside them. Here, we slow down and get curious about the parts of you that learned to keep going at your own expense. We use art, body-based awareness, and real relationship to help you set the weight down and remember who you are under the exhaustion.
