I have been licensed since 2006, and my background includes extensive experience in addiction treatment in inpatient, outpatient, and detox settings. That clinical experience gives me a strong foundation, but what matters most in my work is tailoring therapy to the individuals. I especially enjoy working with professionals, both individuals and couples, who want a thoughtful, high-quality therapeutic experience. My approach is both depth-oriented and practical. I use evidence-based, eclectic, and psychodynamic therapies. The goal is not simply to manage symptoms, but to understand what is driving them and create change.

Misunderstood? Anxious? Angry? Lost?
Therapy is a space for exploration through empathy, curiosity, and reflection. You are not meant to be fixed, but to be better understood while gaining new skills. In an ever-changing and overwhelming world, navigating relationships, identity, life transitions, and the lingering impacts of stress or trauma can feel difficult and isolating. You may feel stuck at times, but you do not have to navigate it alone.
I welcome individuals from all backgrounds. I often work with women and adolescents experiencing attachment and relational issues, anxiety/depression, self-esteem, and emotional expression.

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.
