Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of your experience, and begin to relate to yourself in a different way.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or unsure how to move forward. At times, it can feel like you’re managing a lot internally—your thoughts, emotions, and how you show up—without a clear sense of what you need.
I offer a supportive, creative, and collaborative approach to begin understanding these experiences more clearly, and to feel more grounded in yourself.
A Thoughtful, Relational Approach
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore and get curious about the patterns, experiences, and internal dynamics that shape how you relate—to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.
This work often includes noticing how different parts of you respond in different moments—especially when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure.
At times, one part of you may be critical, another may be trying to keep things under control, and another may feel uncertain or vulnerable.
Together, we begin to understand these parts with more clarity and compassion, rather than trying to push them away.
Making Space for Your Full Experience
A central part of therapy with me is creating space for your full experience—without needing to minimize, edit, or push parts of yourself aside.
Over time, this can help you:
- Feel more grounded and steady
- Understand your emotions more clearly
- Relate to yourself with more compassion
- Move through relationships with greater ease and authenticity
This isn’t about becoming someone different—it’s about feeling more fully yourself.
This process also involves paying attention to how your experiences show up not just in your thoughts, but in your body.
You might notice tension, restlessness, or a sense of unease that’s hard to put into words.
By slowing down and bringing awareness to these experiences, therapy can help you feel more connected to yourself—and better able to choose how to respond rather than react.
Art Therapy and the Role of Creative Expression
As a trained art therapist, I offer the option of creative expression through art therapy as part of our work together.
While sessions over video are often talk-based, there are times when words don’t fully capture what you’re feeling. Art therapy can offer another way of accessing and exploring your experience—especially when something feels unclear, layered, or just out of reach. The physical process of making art can also help calm your nervous system, making it easier to talk about more difficult subjects.
Art therapy might involve using simple materials—markers, crayons, oil pastels, or collage—to begin expressing something you’re noticing internally. Sometimes I might offer a directive, other times we might see what comes out spontaneously. The focus isn’t on making something “good” or technically proficient, but on allowing whatever is present for you in the moment to take form. Allowing yourself to “play” and “experiment” are central pillars to art therapy.
Creative expression can help:
- Bring awareness to emotions that are harder to verbalize
- Slow down cycles of overthinking
- Offer a different perspective on patterns or experiences
- Create space for parts of yourself that may not often be acknowledged
There’s no expectation to be artistic, and it’s always optional. Art therapy is just another tool to explore and be curious about your experience—without needing to edit, minimize, or make it make sense right away.
