About
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters of Art in Art Therapy. I am known for my warm, caring nature that creates an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance which is tempered with my ability to lovingly challenge my clients with tact and compassion. I help adults who've been through sexual/relational trauma and narcissistic abuse, or who struggle with relational difficulties, dissociative identity/OSDD, and codependency.
I weave together somatic experiencing, art therapy, CBT/DBT, and other approaches. I am in my last leg of supervision as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, currently at the Advanced level. I strive for authenticity and congruence in my own life and support that in others, tend to drop (but not throw) the 'F' bomb, and appreciate play and humor in my life.
If you feel heavy with your history and are tired from continually carrying it, I hope you will reach out so we can unpack that baggage and lighten your load!
