I often use Art as a way to access difficult or unprocessed emotions in the unconscious.
My approach is to create a space where you are free to be who you are. By encouraging inner transformation and your desire to heal, the wounds and archetypes you have created for survival reveal themselves. Revealing these archetypes provides you with insight to the parts of yourself that are dark and needing to be heard. Together, we invite these parts of you into the room and learn from the wisdom they can provide us. This insight into emotional turmoil, and its relationship to mind-body connection, becomes the tool of healing.

I work with adults who want to feel more connected, confident, and fulfilled in their relationships — with others and with themselves. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted from trying to meet everyone’s needs and unsure how to find balance — feeling disconnected. Together, we explore who they are now, identify the attachment patterns shaping their relationships, and calm the nervous system that’s been stuck in “overdrive.” This process helps them feel grounded, present, and able to show up authentically in all areas of life.

Do you feel a loss of identity, purpose, sense of self, or interest in life? Are you dissatisfied with your goals, your job, or your relationships? Do you struggle with sadness, anxiety, disturbing thoughts, hallucinations, or self destructive behavior? Have you experienced a trauma that has shattered your sense of the world?

As a registered art therapist, I am also trained to provide a creative way for clients to express what may be hard to talk about, especially during times of crisis or difficulty.
My focus as an integrative psychotherapist is on holistic well-being rather than illness. We are generally born in a state of inner harmony, wholeness & health, and as we experience life’s ups & downs, our emotional state can become unbalanced.

My approach includes an emphasis on creative potential; finding purpose & joy; growth and change; trust and respect. It’s important that my clients feel comfortable and safe in the therapy room.

Art has the amazing power to release the areas of the mind that have been locked up due to previous traumas and experiences.
While the majority of clients that I work with are children and adolescents, I also work with adults experiencing a variety of symptoms, from anxiety to trauma. I believe that art therapy has the power to help every population, no matter what they are suffering from. It does not focus on the product of the art, but more on the process behind creating it.

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.
