About

l utilize a strengths-based approach with lots of healthy challenging so we can get to the meat of the issue ASAP. I help my clients identify any stubborn defenses that are getting in the way of their growth and encourage artmaking to facilitate unconscious processing. I most enjoy working with women and queer folks with ADHD, non-stereotypical autism, or relationship issues.

I like to build body awareness with clients on our way to building emotional awareness since the two go hand-in-hand. Encouraging body neutrality and gratitude for what the body does well is part of the process in reconnecting to your physical being and paves the way for getting grounded when you’re stuck in thinking mode.

I may add artmaking or art materials for mindfulness with things like model magic/clay as fidgets to keep the body online while the brain is processing difficult content verbally. Art is just one additional therapeutic modality at your disposal, but you will always have the power of choice in terms of how we decide to use your session time!
