Being constantly in the trenches with your mental health without the right help, knowledge, or support can feel like a helpless battle. Using an integrative, creative and direct approach to therapy, my work aims to meet you in the darkness; rolling up my sleeves and joining you in the mud. Together, we will work together to get you free of the hole you find yourself in. As a therapist, I am known for both my compassionate wisdom and ability to get directly to the heart of the struggle- helping guide you towards your goals and dreams. Using a combination of top down and bottom up approaches, we will work together to find healing.
With a decade of experience in mental health treatment settings, my expertise includes working with trauma and treating mental health conditions from a non-pathologizing framework. I am a specialist in utilizing both traditional talk therapy and the creative arts to mitigate the effects of trauma and foster long-term sustainable wellness and resilience.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, mood disorders, highly sensitive people, bipolar spectrum, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, expressive arts, substance abuse, all ages, harm reduction and education. I also offer creative coaching and therapy as an addition to current therapy.
