Being rejected for who you are is bullshit.
You learned you had to be a certain way in the world in order to be loved and accepted by others around you. So you tried to be perfect and live your life by their “rules” and standards, while ignoring your own inner knowing. You’ve rejected your thoughts, emotions, and body in an effort to be selfless, pure, or holy and you lost yourself in the process.
Many of my clients come to me because they are exhausted from living an inauthentic life. My clients feel disconnected from themselves and desire to reconnect with kindness, love, and compassion.
Therapy may be for you if:
You have a hard time sleeping
You have low self-confidence and self-esteem
You have difficulty making decisions
You experience guilt for feeling ordinary emotions
You are lonely and have trouble with relationships
How therapy is different with me…
I am an artist. I believe all people are creative and creativity is a doorway into the healing process. I integrate creative arts into sessions to help my clients get back in touch with their bodies and tap into their imagination.
Creative arts in session may include: coloring, drawing, listening to music, sculpting, etc. I invite my clients to participate in creative arts activities at their level of comfort.
I am a clinical psychologist. I am trained in several approaches to therapy, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). So what does this mean? I integrate creative arts with more “traditional” approaches to therapy based on the goals and needs of my clients.
I work best with…
people who are open to new ways of tapping into their own resources
people who are creative and open to exploring creativity in session
people who are willing to play
people who want to engage with their imagination
