Bringing hope through creative endeavors is my passion. Empowering others to discover their own passion through creativity is my practice. My approach is person centered, humanistic, solution focused with inclusion of the mind, body and spirit. I believe expression through the arts lightens our soul, promotes wellness and strengthens our ability to manage emotional stressors while improving relationships. Explore how expressive art activities can provide insight into long held beliefs and allow personal growth in mindset and health. Express creatively, authenticity without judgement or expectations.
I’m licensed as a LMHC, shortly will be accepting insurance. Expressive therapist licensed in Art Therapy, ATR. Working within the scope of DBT, CBT, trauma informed and motivational interviewing, I utilize ASL and believe in the neural plasticity of the brain. I work with all ages but specialize with youth and family. I hold a MA in Expressive Therapies.
Many have had “bad” experiences with therapy in the past. Finding the “right fit” can be difficult. My goal is to create a safe space comfortable for sharing difficult emotions towards change and personal development. I provide a 30 min consultation no charge to insure the service benefits you and your goals. EAP provider. Email creativebtherapy@gmail.com.

Creative Circles for Caregivers
Caregiving for an ill loved one can be difficult. The caregiver Identity theory transforms the caregivers self-perception and identity. We often feel a sense of numbness or the opposite an overwhelm of emotions. Exhaustion and burn out are typical, but doesn't have to be an obstacle to your enjoyment and quality of life. Explore themes of identity and grief. Express creatively and through somatic activity to create a deeper meaning of your experience. Collaborate with other caregivers and experience a circle of healing that elevates the spirit.
