My Approach to Helping

Despite being connected to nature and starting your spiritual journey, you’ve still been experiencing shame, negative self-talk, overthinking, and feeling ‘too late’ to pursue your true desires. Unresolved trauma has made it difficult to get through your days or be present in your relationships. That tyrant in your brain is slowly killing your joy, making you feel alone and out of control. You keep burying memories and instead focus on all the things you ‘should’ be doing. "Perform," "Succeed," "Do better." Even though you've tried it all, it's not working because, when you live with unresolved trauma, you age but struggle to grow.

I can help you turn that vocal but unhelpful tyrant into fierce inner support. You’ll learn to foster healing by grounding yourself in the present and allowing yourself to experience the wounds, negative beliefs, and chronic patterns, as well as learning how to amplify excitement, curiosity, and awe. Together, we’ll tap into this inner gold. It sounds weird, but the muck is where the magic happens!

Experiencing where you struggle promotes growth and change so that you can create a future with fulfilling relationships and days of peace. With 17 years of experience in this field, I blend Somatic, Gestalt, and Creative interventions to help you shift into a more authentic You. I’m right here, backing you up as you start to back yourself.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Beyond talking, I help people connect to their inner resources by bringing attention to the way their bodies and emotions mix with their beliefs and thoughts. Somatic and Experiential therapy are great modalities to uncover the patterns, habits, beliefs, and blocks that get in the way of you feeling satisfied. Clients often find that this process gets to the essence of what's really happening and promotes growth, improved self-esteem, and the ability to manage difficult feelings better. 

Creative Now Therapy's integrative approach combines mindfulness, body awareness, and creative interventions to help you feel:

? Calm and at ease again
? More alive and safer in your body
? Excited to wake up
? Healthy and in a better place
? Connected to the people closest to you
? And ready for whatever life throws at you next

Creative Now Therapy is a name inspired by the power of the present moment and how important this way of being is in life and in therapy. It is a reminder for me to always return to this place as a way to heal, be, and explore.
