Do you or your child struggle to express your emotions with words? Sometimes, traditional talk therapy may not be sufficient to overcome the obstacles that hinder us from understanding our feelings. By using art therapy, we access a different part of our brain that promotes growth, self-discovery, and support. We'll delve into your past experiences to understand how they shaped the person you are today. Through collaborative work, we will strive towards understanding your behavior patterns, how they may be inhibiting you from living your best life, and find ways to overcome them.

Wherever you are in your life’s journey, you don’t have to go through it alone. It can be challenging to understand why we are going through a difficulty in our life, but more importantly, it can be difficult to identify our own needs during these times. As a trained Art Therapist, I utilize talk therapy along with creative self-expression. I work from an intersectional and social justice framework, and as a female therapist of color I am committed to validating personal experiences and intersections of identity including race, ethnicity, and gender.

All people seeking therapy should be met with compassion and empathy in a safe and non-judgemental space. I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy to help those coping with life's challenges increase their wellbeing and meet their goals. I work with clients of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, alcohol and/or substance use disorders, ADHD, trauma, identity, relationship problems, and life transitions.

My background and training as an Art Therapist was a major determinant in my decision to become a Psychologist and Psychoanalyst. I was enthralled by the power, curative possibilities and revealing nature in the creative process. As a result, my area of particular interest is in working with artists, writers, photographers and individuals in the theater and music industry. I am an interactive therapist with extensive postgraduate training. When possible, I use humor in our sessions, pretty well I am told, a bit of sarcasm now and then as well!

I am a New York State licensed and board-certified creative art therapist providing treatment for young people and adults. My approach is strength based, client centered and deeply grounded in the restorative power of the creative process. A strong therapeutic alliance fostered through trust, understanding and collaboration is essential in cultivating positive change. I deeply value the use of art making to facilitate authentic self-expression, increase self-awareness, and promote self-acceptance. “Art is a way of recognizing oneself...” -Louise Bourgeois

My work is driven by the core belief that people can change. My goal is to help you have the kind of experiences, interactions and intimate relationships you want in your life so that you can feel connected, seen, and valued. I find that old wounds from past trauma can reopen in present day life experiences. I help my clients sort out what happened then and what is happening now. We’ll talk about how you feel about it and I’ll listen closely and empathically to what you both say and don't say. After that, we can work together to figure out the next steps to set boundaries and express what you need in a way that others can hear.

Some of the most important things that happen in our lives can't be put into words. Changes in emotions, thoughts, or daily life—feeling sad, anxious, tired, difficulty focusing, appetite or sleep changes, loneliness, mood swings, and/or hopelessness—can become overwhelming over time. Envision a safe space where emotions can surface, inviting exploration. Here, they are not just acknowledged but heard, understood, and perhaps even befriended. Creative Arts therapy involves the mind, body, and spirit in different ways than just talking. These ways lead to an emotional connection to the full range of human experience.

I provide a supportive, holistic, responsive, warm space and help you develop new coping skills, awareness, self-discovery, growth, and healing. I believe in an individual and integrative approach and go beyond talk therapy; the tools and techniques will differ depending on your needs. Together, we will create a new vision of who you want to be and what you want to accomplish in your journey, discover your true potential, as well as to create opportunities, and achieve your goals. I often use the Positive Psychology field of theory and research, focusing on both individual and social well-being versus the stigma of diagnosis.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of post-graduate experience in the treatment of children, teens and adults with anxiety, depression, drug/ alcohol addiction, eating disorders, and school/peer issues.

I see a life well-lived as a creative process, and I help those I work with to realize their own talents and potential. Some look for short-term support during a period of loss or uncertainty. Others get into deeper work to address older wounds and patterns. Maybe you just need to talk to someone and see what happens. Whatever your situation, you are the true expert on your own life, and I would focus on solutions that work for you.
