My Approach
I use psychotherapy techniques, which are a great way to get to know you and identify your goals. This way we can figure out what hasn’t been working and where you want to go.
I also use creative arts therapies such as making art, writing, and music to help you engage deeper and lovingly integrate parts of yourself that you haven’t been able to access or accept.
I use Mindfulness to help you stay present for longer with what is happening.
