I believe that when words fall short, creativity is there to express and communicate difficult emotions, feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Art making and other forms of creative expression like music, dance, movement, drama, and writing allows for the subconscious to come closer to the surface to be accessed so healing can occur. I have a wide range of creative approaches to meet the individual needs of each client. I am a person-centered clinician who values trust, empathy, compassion and an overall acceptance of all aspects of a person to meet them where they are at in the moment. I have experience as a trauma informed therapist providing interventions to process trauma. The majority of my career so far has been working with adolescents and youth to promote identity formation, management of emotions and effective coping skills, self-expression, processing trauma, increasing insight and awareness, and empowerment. I have experience providing traditional psychotherapy services along with a variety of skills to provide alternative interventions that fit the needs of the individual seeking treatment. I am a registered, licensed, and board certified Art Therapist working primarily through a studio based approach. I majored in art therapy and minored in psychology during my undergraduate education and continued to pursue my master's degree in Art Therapy.

“"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for." -Georgia O'Keefe”
Therapy with me looks like: I believe effective therapy is based on the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship that values trust. Building a connection is essential for progress to be made. The client is in control over their treatment and the therapist acts as a guide while empowering the client to be authentic and understanding they have the power to heal. It is a judgement free process and a safe place to express themselves without fear or criticism.
