Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a supportive process rooted in a trusting relationship that involves curiosity and discovery rather than judgment. Therapy includes play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle as you expand your understanding of yourself. It is an exploration of your strengths and vulnerabilities as necessary and valuable parts of yourself that you cultivate, integrate and prune as you activate change.
I trained as an art therapist which helped me cultivate my experience of the use of symbol and to understand creativity as more than art making. Creativity is inherent in how we construct our values, foster relationships, and express, navigate, and protect ourselves in the world. In therapy, I support expansion of awareness of your relationship with your innate creativity and how this is a path to deepen your understanding of yourself.
My values related to creativity and self-expression inspired the development of a non-traditional shared space for personal transformation, Tattoo Therapy. I partnered with Kelly Gelling, a tattoo artist sharing similar values related to creativity and personal growth, to create a space to inspire openness, expansion, connection, and transformation. We specifically chose a space in DUMBO because of the connectivity captured by the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and for the neighborhood's focus on community engagement through the arts. Our vision hopes to one day collaborate in the transformative process of both therapy and tattooing occurring concurrently or informing one another. We are open to working with you on any inspiration you have in that process.
