What should a new client know about working with you?
Everyone deserves to have space for themselves. I believe that the therapeutic space for each individual is so valuable for personal growth, the development of further insights and a place to find and cultivate support. Whether you are seeking therapy to address a specific concern or are looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself as you move forward, I can provide you a space to be seen and heard in a genuine and meaningful way. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself fully and honestly. I bring warmth, humor and a creativity to the therapeutic relationship as you guide the process. I value the ability and opportunity to bring creative expression into the therapy space. In addition to verbal therapy, I believe working from a creative space can offer a new and rich language of self expression, as well as a deeper connection and understanding of ones self.
