About My Clients
Clients who respond well to my approach are seeking a safe space to explore, reflect, and come to know themselves better without judgement. I approach my clients with curiosity - and questioning that guides without forcing. Creating a safe / judgment-free space allows vulnerability, decreased defensiveness - and positive rapport. This facilitates the process toward healing and connecting to your authentic self. I love the work I do - and am honored to work with each and every client!
My Background and Approach
Healing Studio is a behavioral health solo private practice where visual expression is flexibly integrated into traditional talk therapy to enhance insight and growth. Visual imagery and creative self-expression can be powerful in unlocking awareness about ourselves – and artistic ability is not required! Opportunities to use art expression are offered – never forced. Simplified procedures allow me to tailor services to your needs – and create an experience that helps you heal.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a creative but shy kid from a working-class family – I often felt like I was swimming against the current. I wanted to be an artist and find a way to use my abilities to help others. Not infrequently, I’d hear, “That’s not practical” or “is just not realistic.” I’ve since realized the experiences that challenge us often create our path. I put myself through school - and through my work as a therapist - am able to integrate both creativity and contribution with the work I do. Additionally, as a working mother who has raised two children to adulthood - I understand the challenges that face working parents in a demanding and sometimes unforgiving society.
