When What Was Unravels

Warm Holiday Greetings! 

The studio remains mostly open during the holiday season.
Please note that it will be closed on the following days:

December 25 and 26
December 31, and January 1, 2

I wish you time for real conversations, shared meals, moments outdoors, and a slower rhythm. May these days offer a bit of rest for the soul and the nervous system.

Alongside my clinical training, I draw on my life as an artist
and on my own therapeutic journey to work through a trauma-focused lens
rooted in creativity and experiential practice.
I meet people in person to address challenges such as anxiety, childhood trauma,
depression, feelings of isolation, substance abuse, father & son relationships,
creative blocks, and life’s paradoxes.

Our modern way of life provides many benefits, especially in food, transportation, communication, and technology. Yet the pace can be frantic, and we are bombarded with choices (and contradictions) around love, friendships, career, and money. This barrage can cloud how we think and feel. Convenience is real, but it often comes at a price: a thinning of depth and connection.

Whether we’re facing a major life crisis, a transition, or unpacking the trauma of our childhood, our anxiety can spiral out of control, often leaving us feeling paralyzed. In such painful moments, imagining how change might occur can feel nearly impossible. Psychotherapy offers a path forward: a process that helps us seek our authentic selves, deepen our relationships with others, and heal a dysregulated nervous system often caused by family dysfunctions. 

The old stigma around psychotherapy is gradually fading. Once solely associated with mental illness, therapy is now viewed through the lens of the wellness paradigm: a tool to examine our lives and the obstacles we face. It’s about broadening our choices and learning to self-regulate in an overwhelming world.

A psychotherapist acts as a traveling companion, guiding us as we fully embrace life in all its beauty and contradictions. Come as you are. The journey begins there.
