 As someone navigating the world between labels, you are skilled at attuning closely to others, reading between the lines, and recognizing what is being communicated without being spoken.

​

​

Your insight and close attention to others has helped you get to where you are now, but it  comes at a cost. When all your attention is focused on meeting the expectations and needs of others, your own needs get lost.

​

​

As someone that others rely on, you are very skilled at what you do. You are bright, engaging, talented...and completely exhausted from working so hard. 

​

You may be experiencing burnout, strained relationships, and physical symptoms of stress such as headaches, digestive problems, or other chronic health issues. You may be experiencing trouble sleeping or disengagement from the activities that once gave you joy. 

​

​

You might not have the words or the language to describe your feelings of being apart, of feeling that something doesn't quite fit. You may have tried many things- therapy, meditation, reading books, going on retreats...but continue to feel that something is missing, or wrong, or not quite right. 

​

​

What if you didn't have to work so hard all the time? What if the answer lies in doing less as opposed to working harder, pushing farther, or relying on your strength, grit, and perseverance to just keep going (though these qualities have certainly helped! Much gratitude for their role in getting you this far).

​

 

Expressive arts therapy offers you an opportunity to slow down, look closely at what you are experiencing, and tap into the creative wisdom that is always available to you in order to make sense of your world., your relationships, and yourself. 

​

​

​

Together, we'll look at the ways your nervous system is already offering you support to feel better. We'll invite in the wisdom of your intuition and creativity, which you may have had to ignore, silence, or dismiss in order to navigate through to this point. 

​

Expressive arts therapy can help you:

  • calm and understand your nervous system

  • discern your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and motivations

  • tap into your creative wisdom

  • develop self trust and self acceptance

  • make sense of your relationships

  • understand and integrate the parts of the whole (past, present, and future, self and other, thoughts, feelings, sensations...)​
