About My Clients
I provide therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of strengths and challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I integrate expressive arts with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process feelings and experiences, reduce inner conflict, and improve relationships. Together, we will create a collaborative map for your healing and change.
My Background and Approach
I am a social worker, therapist, musician, and expressive arts practitioner. I believe everyone is innately creative, and each person has within them what they need to heal and change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon and Louisiana, and a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT). I use a multi-arts, or intermodal, approach in individual and group therapy and facilitating. This means I use visual art, music, movement, writing, and mindfulness as therapeutic tools to initiate healing and change. Since this work is based on the creative process and not the resulting product, no background or training in the arts is required to benefit.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe: -Each person has within them what they need to heal and change. -All people are innately creative. -In meeting each client exactly where they are. -In unconditional positive regard, compassion, and authenticity. -In creating and holding space for safe explorations. -Healing and change are creative acts.
