Normal is a setting on a dryer. We are all unique and valid individuals with vast minds. We all have different situations and I believe in using those pieces to heal and build strength. While I specialize in trauma, addiction, and mood, our struggles are usually not that one note or simple. I focus on all aspects of who you and where you want to be, building a strong relationship based on empathy, trust and non judgement. Life is rough, we lose sight of our way, stop seeing the beauty, forget who we are, feel stuck or changed. It takes courage to be vulnerable and reality is we are imperfectly perfect. I provide a creative approach to explore emotional, behavioral and interpersonal issues. My practice utilizes a mixture of techniques including talk therapy, art therapy, humor, integrative writing, creative mindfulness and sensory to assist in this process. I have a passion for people and their unique qualities. Mental health is not about following a binder of instructions. I approach sessions with an individual and tailored style, looking into the depth that makes you, you. I offer a safe, positive space that allows exploration and expression of thoughts and feelings.
