My Ideal Client

I work with sensitive, creative, and intuitive individuals who feel disconnected from their true selves. You might be tired of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or living on autopilot. Together, we’ll explore what authenticity means for you — rebuilding confidence, strengthening intuition, and uncovering the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. My clients are seekers who want to feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with who they truly are.

What I Specialize In

I specialize in helping clients reconnect with their authentic selves through creativity, intuition, and depth work. My focus includes identity exploration, self-trust, people-pleasing and codependency patterns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and creative or spiritual growth. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive arts, SoulCollage®, ecopsychology, and symbolic practices to support healing and transformation. Whether you’re seeking clarity, confidence, or a deeper sense of purpose, I offer a compassionate, grounded space to explore your inner world and cultivate authentic self-expression.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

If you’re drawn to introspection and curious about your inner world, I may be a good fit for you. I bring warmth, creativity, and intuitive insight to therapy — helping you connect with the parts of yourself that long to be understood and expressed. My clients often describe our work as healing, empowering, and even a little magical. Together, we’ll explore your story through conversation, creativity, and inner work, helping you release old patterns and live more authentically. My goal is to help you rediscover your inner wisdom, strengthen your self-trust, and feel more at home in who you are.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) External link

    IFS helps you understand and heal the different “parts” within you — the inner voices that protect, hide, or strive. Through compassionate curiosity, we explore these parts so your authentic Self can lead with clarity, confidence, and balance.

  • Holistic External link

    I draw from a blend of evidence-based and creative approaches, integrating mind, body, and spirit. Together, we tailor therapy to your unique needs — weaving intuition, self-awareness, and practical tools for growth and authentic living.

  • Expressive Art Therapy External link

    Through creativity, imagination, and symbolic exploration, you can access insights that words alone can’t reach. Using art, imagery, or SoulCollage®, we invite your inner world to speak — deepening self-understanding and emotional healing.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Self-Esteem External link

    I help clients build genuine self-trust and confidence by reconnecting with their inner voice. Together, we explore patterns like people-pleasing or self-doubt and uncover your authentic sense of worth — grounded in who you truly are, not in others’ expectations.

  • Personal Growth External link

    My approach supports deep self-discovery through creativity, intuition, and reflection. We’ll explore your patterns, values, and desires so you can live with greater authenticity, clarity, and self-trust. Therapy becomes a space for transformation and aligned living.

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    I help individuals and couples navigate relationships with more honesty and balance. Whether you struggle with boundaries, communication, or losing yourself in connection, we’ll work toward healthy patterns that honor both your needs and your authentic self.
