About My Clients
Are You: - An anxious Millenial or Gen Z woman? - A daughter of an emotionally immature parent? - Struggling with familial relationships/boundaries? - An overwhelmed people pleaser? Do you want to stop people pleasing and start living a more authentic life that is centered around YOU and not everyone else? Would you like to be able to better navigate your relationships with toxic or difficult family members? Are you open to trying a non-linear and creative approach to therapy?
My Background and Approach
I have been working as a therapist for over 10 years and have seen the benefits of Art Therapy time and time again. It is a way to process difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences non-verbally, and a way to expel anxious and nervous energy. If you've been in talk therapy before, but feel like it's not getting you where you'd like to go - why not try a creative and somatic approach? Art making lowers our stress levels (cortisol), increases dopamine (the "feel-good" chemical), lowers heart rate, and strengthens your immune system (increases T-cells!) And that's just the art making part! Add on some talk therapy - and you've got yourself a perfect equation for reducing anxiety, strengthening coping skills, and processing trauma. What could be better?
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am Cis/Het, White, and a Woman - I know, I know - you're typical therapist! BUT I am an advocate and ally to the LGBTQIA+ and Black community. I know we are not all treated equally - and we never will be, but we all deserve humanity and respect. I understand my privilege in this world, and my own biases. My experiences might be different than yours, and I will never pretend to know what it's like to struggle with things I've never had to struggle with. I can, however, offer support, love, kindness, and openness to your experiences in life - human to human.
