I am a queer and non-binary art therapist with additional training in human sexuality, utilizing a trauma-informed understanding, and a relational, strength-based, person-centered approach. I meet clients where they are at and hold the values of transparency, social justice, and collaboration with my clients. Questions and feedback are encouraged. I work with clients on establishing safety in the present, while accessing strengths and felt sense, in order to integrate emotions, parts, and past experiences to achieve a sense of wholeness. I provide my clients with a caring therapeutic environment and co-regulation through the therapeutic relationship, which is key for allowing a more stabilized nervous system and a deeper dive into one’s experiences. I can offer empathetic and compassionate support in navigating life’s challenges while guiding clients towards their innate capacity to heal.
