About my Experience and Therapeutic Approach:

I believe that embarking on the path of self-discovery,
healing, and self-realization is a fascinating, exciting ...
and scary proposition.

It is very important that you and your therapist are well-
matched for this part of your journey. It is your best chance
to make it all that you imagine it can be.

I work collaboratively with clients to create a safe, supportive,
and non-judgmental environment which is conducive to self-
exploration and authentic expression. Although I am trained
as an art therapist, lots of my clients chose to participate in
more traditional verbal therapy.

If you are interested in using art, however, combining verbal
dialogue with your creative process will enable you to access
insight and a greater understanding of your strengths. These
insights, in turn, can lead to action and meaningful changes.

My Master’s degree is in art therapy, additionally I have
experience facilitating therapeutic & self-development groups.
I also have advanced training in family therapy.  The areas of
my clinical specialization include trauma resolution (I
completed EMDR training, Phases I & II), dealing with
depression & anxiety, and recovery from addictive behaviors.
I am interested in working with people who are
in transition & seeking support.

I will honor your process while helping you connect with your
strengths, self-compassion,
creativity & humor.
