I am a registered clinical social worker, a registered board certified art therapist, an art therapy certified supervisor, a philosopher of consciousness studies, a teacher and an author. I work with people dealing with trauma (sexual abuse/assault; accidents; illness); loss (death, divorce, life transitions; job displacement; career changes); and mental health issues (anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions). I also provide supervision and consultation to professionals. The most common words people use to describe their work with me are "inspiring" and "epiphany".
I work with creative avenues in order to help you take full responsibility for your life and realize your highest potential. I assist you to learn the practice of emotional regulation in order that you can live fully in your personal power no matter what is happening in your life. Professionals come to me for art based supervision. All come to be inspired.
If you want to explore a holistic approach to managing your emotions so that you can feel better and create a more satisfying lifestyle then my approach may be for you. We will work together in a positive psychology-strength based-mindful way to align you with your deepest sense of Well-Being. Self-development is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
