Fun Stuff.

How do your clients describe you?

My clients say that they feel seen, accepted, and validated, which reduces shame and isolation. We co-create frameworks that help them clarify what they want/need and provide outlets for working on their issues between sessions. They appreciate my creative use of language, which helps them shift the language they use to think about themselves and others.

What are your creative outlets?

Writing, photography, painting, music, time in nature

What are your favorite books?

Paula Prober's Your Rainforest Mind, anything by Elaine Aron but especially The Highly Sensitive Person, Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, and Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way
