About Holly-Marie
Welcome to my private practice, where I am dedicated to helping women cultivate healthy relationships and break free from patterns of dysfunctional connections. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a deep understanding of historical and intergenerational trauma, recognizing that our past experiences often shape our present behaviors and emotions.
As a person of bi-racial identity (Ihanktonwan Dakota Sioux and western European lineage) I know something about trusting those who say all the right things in the beginning (or being in a vulnerable position and feeling you have no choice but to believe) but they repeatedly betray and/or abuse your trust. My lineage and lived experience informs my ability to address concerns for BIPOC populations (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) such as:
racism, marginalization, identity confusion and historical trauma.
​
In our sessions, we'll work together to tap into your intuition, through
several modalities, mainly Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness,
which allow you to gain insight into your emotions and behaviors.
This self-awareness is a powerful tool in the process of healing and
transformation. My goal is to assist you in restoring your
self-esteem, helping you recognize your inherent worth and value.
​
Through our therapeutic journey, my aim is for you to feel more
connected - both to yourself and to those around you. Together,
we will navigate the complexities of your personal experiences and
empower you to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Your path
to healing and growth starts here, in a safe and supportive space
where your well-being is the priority.

Creative and Expressive Art Therapy Work
I love incorporating intuitive and expressive art therapies into the work I do with clients. You do not have to be an artist to experience benefit. Everyone is not comfortable with this, and that's completely fine. But, if it's something you would like to try, you might find the deceptively simple techniques can reveal deep levels of psyche that are sometimes hard to approach through talk therapy. Most of my clients have found that engaging in this type of therapy provides new personal insights and feelings of hope and relaxation.
Below are a few samples of my own intuitive and expressive art work.
