Our Approach
For sensitive, creative, and spiritually inclined people navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma
Therapy that honors your sensitivity, your body, and your magic.
How Sessions May Look
Starting with a brief check-in and body scan to notice where stress, numbness, or emotion is showing up in your body.
Using art materials (drawing, collage, symbols, tarot-like imagery) to give form to feelings, inner parts, or dreams that are hard to put into words.
Tracking sensations, breath, and impulses as you talk or create, so your nervous system can learn that it is safe to feel without flooding or shutting down.
Bringing in IFS/parts language (“a part of me feels…”) to un-blend from shame, self-criticism, or old survival strategies.
Integrating EMDR or bilateral stimulation when appropriate to help your brain and body process stuck memories in a contained, resourced way.
Modalities We Draw From
Somatic therapy & nervous system work to support regulation, grounding, and trauma healing through the body.
Jungian-informed art therapy to explore symbols, archetypes, dreams, and creative expression as pathways to insight and meaning.
IFS / parts work to help you build a kinder relationship with your inner world, rather than trying to “fix” or exile parts of you.
EMDR therapy to process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional charge they hold in your present life.
Spiritually affirming care that can include ritual, lunar cycles, card pulls, or earth-based practices if that resonates for you (and will never be pushed if it doesn’t)
and More! See below!
Our work together is collaborative, gentle, and paced with your nervous system—not your inner critic. In each session, we weave somatic therapy, creative art-making, and parts work so you can understand yourself more deeply and feel more grounded in daily life.
Instead of forcing you to “push through” your feelings, we slow down, notice what your body is saying, and invite curiosity and compassion toward every part of you—even the ones that feel too much, too needy, or too messy.
