I am trained in many modalities but most often employ trauma-informed, Humanistic, DBT, Gestalt, ERP, CBT, IFS, Art-based, and Psychodynamic approaches.
Do you want to dig deeper? Are you repeating behaviors or situations and wishing you could break the cycle? Are you or your partner struggling with mismatched communication, attachment, intimacy, vulnerability, desire, culture, or conflict resolution styles? Sometimes, we're not sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. And even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. Without judgment, my job is to listen, help you understand root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

I hold two licenses as both a Psychotherapist and a Clinical Art Therapist.
Good therapy strikes a balance between compassion and challenge. How does the past influence daily life? What old patterns and programing run the show?.. and where is change necessary? I work with individuals, couples and families on issues of self esteem, trauma, depression and anxiety. I treat all ages including young people struggling with the stressors of adulthood; as well as older adults facing life changes. The first step in healing is a genuine and unconditional connection to a caring therapist. Reach out to start!

As an additional tool, art therapy can support the awareness around the unconscious and provide a creative release outside of talk therapy.
Life can create obstacles and therapy is there to support you with tackling the things that are weighing you down. I create a safe place to process your thoughts/feelings and provide insight around your patterns/behaviors. It can be scary to make changes in life, but the results of facing hard things can be rewarding and empowering. My approach to therapy is strength based, client-centered, & holistically grounded.

In my nonjudgmental approach I combine "talk" therapy with art therapy, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
In my 15 years of practicing I have evolved 2 specialties: 1. I focus on interpersonal connections - your relationship to your sibling, parents, child, spouse, partner, co-worker, and/or self that may be causing anxiety and depression; 2. I help adults and children who have educational, relational, and work challenges due to neurological differences (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, impulse & emotional regulation challenges); as well as parents of children who are neurologically atypical. Having these differences and parenting a child with these differences causes isolation, frustration, and feelings of being stuck.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
