Art Therapy in Beaufort, SC
I have been practicing as a counselor and art therapist for the last 20 years.
Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you working on your gender, personal or professional identity? Are you looking for support and direction to manage your life. Do you have a history or trauma that is contributing to your emotional turmoil.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you working on your gender, personal or professional identity? Are you looking for support and direction to manage your life. Do you have a history or trauma that is contributing to your emotional turmoil.
I always employ humor and unconditional positive regard in my therapy, and -- depending on the individual's character and thought processes -- I use a number of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and talk, play and art therapies.
We all deserve to live a happy, productive life -- to have a little fun every now and then. While life can't always be fun, with the right coping mechanisms and cognitive tools, we can address even the toughest times with positivity and confidence. It is my goal to teach my clients how to live their most positive lives, no matter what the circumstance or issue: marriage and family problems, anxiety, depression, ADD and ADHD (children and adults), blended family matters, sexual issues, PTSD, and military-family dynamics.

I am a twin mom who became fiercely passionate about working with women after my own pregnancy journey. Navigating a complex system with a lack of resources for new mothers made me realize that I needed to shift my career focus to creating a space for new moms to heal mentally, physically, and spiritually after having a new baby. I am an avid runner and health coach in addition to being a therapist. Integrating movement and holistic wellness is a critical component to my approach in therapy. I am currently offering virtual therapy appointments in TN, SC, and NC.

Let's st art unpacking the stuff that's been weighing you down.
As far as anyone knows, you’ve got it together. Despite being intelligent and hard working, you just can't shake the feelings of inadequacy- no matter how much you've accomplished. You're not one to ask for help because you think you should be able to fix everything on your own. Maybe your relationships are suffering or you're just plain exhausted and at the end of your rope. Maybe it's time to put yourself first. I help people like you learn how to to relax, prioritize their goals, and realize their worth without having to "earn" it or rely on external circumstances to feel like they are enough.

I provide trauma processing through Art Therapy & EMDR.
Sometimes, distressing thoughts, memories, and moods can leave us feeling misunderstood and trapped in repetitive cycles. Each day might feel like a continuation of the last, with no end in sight. When words fall short and traditional talk therapy feels insufficient, art can bridge that gap and help express what seems inexpressible. If you’ve experienced abuse, violence, or trauma and are seeking a path to healing, you are not alone. There is a way forward.

I provide trauma processing through Art Therapy & EMDR.
Sometimes there are thoughts, memories and moods that are causing us distress. Often, when we try to express these to others, we are left feeling more confused about what we are feeling or misunderstood afterward. Sometimes words fail us and we cannot find the right way to express ourselves and then we find ourselves repeating the same cycles. I have found in my work that when words fail, art can help us bridge that language dead-end. I am a registered Art Therapist; I believe that art is innately human and can provide a safe space to initiate growth and change in individuals.

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.
