I am here to support your healing and growth.
I offer attuned, caring, compassionate listening and presence, a sense of humor, and years of experience helping people make change in their lives.
I work in a practical way, collaborating with you to identify strategies so that you can feel and function better. Our time together will support your overall wellness, increase and strengthen your resources, and help you to develop adaptive responses to life’s challenges.
As we talk, at times we will pause to notice what is happening in your body. We may use breath and gentle movement to help you shift from discomfort and tension into greater ease and relaxation.
When relevant, I share information about the polyvagal nervous system and neurobiology, for increased understanding of how thoughts and emotions interact with the physical body.
I teach communication skills that facilitate your ability to navigate challenging conversations respectfully and responsibly.
Visual art activities enhance the effectiveness of therapy while adding fun and pleasure, even when we are talking about difficult experiences.
I work with individual adults, teens, and children. I celebrate and honor diversity in all its forms, and strive to provide therapy in a culturally respectful and relevant manner. Your safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities.
I offer indoor and outdoor art retreats, as well as an online group.
I provide online and in-person training and consultation for other professionals interested in integrating art into healing practices.
