Talk therapy is good a way to get to know you and identify some of your goals, and patterns. Together we can figure out what hasn’t been working and what direction you’d like to go.
Creative arts therapies such as making art and writing can help you engage deeper, to lovingly integrate parts of yourself that you haven’t been able to access or accept.
Mindfulness can help you become more aware of what’s going on and learn to release the need to react. Somatic (body) techniques help us go deeper to help you heal more fully.
