I enjoy working with highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative and deep-thinking humans who are navigating life transitions, grief, healing trauma, feeling blocked, or experiencing a spiritual emergency and needing support in grounding and integrating. I am also happy to support those from the LGBTQIA community, including those on the Ace spectrum, and people in non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships.
Specialties
I am a registered art therapist (ATR) and enjoy helping clients engage with their own creative energy to facilitate healing. This may look very different depending on the individual, but can include painting, drawing, collage-making, art journaling, photography, sewing, or sculpture/ mixed media. I generally use the “art as therapy” approach which means that the art-making process itself is heal
I have completed the basic EMDR training (40 hours plus supervision) through the EMDR International Association, and have been practicing with this modality since 2016. EMDR is believed to activate the nervous system to move traumatic experiences from being stored in the body to the form of narrative memories, and can help relieve hyper vigilance, anxiety, depression, feeling shut down, emotionally overwhelmed and other trauma exposure symptoms.
