As a licensed clinician, for over 10 years I have worked on in-patient psychiatric units; out-patient clinics for adults, and teens, forensic settings, shelters, and community settings. I specialize in working with survivors of intimate partner violence, chemical dependency, depression, and sexual abuse. Through poems, journaling, storytelling, song lyrics and other literature, poetry therapy is helping people to heal and grow, one word, one day at a time. Are you ready to discover your creative space for healing through the transformative process of Poetry Therapy?
I welcome you to enter a safe, creative, atmosphere to explore your personal journey to freedom and the life you deserve. Finding your own voice is a self-affirming process that is often followed by stimulating release, greater self-awareness, new insights and fresh hope!
I have worked with families, teens, couples, and individuals in both clinical and non-clinical settings. This has bolstered my abilities to meet my clients where they are and work with them to achieve their goals to wellness.
