Online in New York
(Online Only)
Despite being connected to nature and on a spiritual path, you’re still experiencing shame and extremely negative self-talk or feeling ‘too late’ to pursue your desires. That tyrant in your brain is killing your joy, making you feel alone and overwhelmed. Unresolved trauma has made it difficult to get through a day or be present in your relationships. You painfully over-focus on all the shoulds and wonder if you could lobotomize yourself. You've tried it all, but when you live with untreated trauma, you age but struggle to grow.
I can help you turn that vocal but unhelpful tyrant into fierce inner support. You’ll learn to foster healing by grounding yourself in the present and allowing yourself to safely touch your pain because that's actually your inner gold. The muck is where the magic happens! Book your free 15-minute consultation today with Creative Now Therapy and start living with more ease and joy.

Approach Description: I have 17 years of psychotherapy training, blending Somatic, Gestalt, and Creative arts therapy to generate a dynamic, holistic, and experiential therapy. Sometimes, "thinking" or "talking" about problems is not enough, and a deeper level of experience and creativity is needed to get to the heart of a difficult situation. Clients often find that the somatic and creative process gets to the roots of what’s happening to enact behavior change more effectively. Book your free consultation today.
