My role as an art therapist and counselor is to actively assist each client in their own unique process of discovering their insights and strengths to help them navigate the primary issues that have brought them into therapy.
Participating in art therapy allows one to access their own innate wisdom and unique healing abilities. Additionally art therapy offers opportunities for self-empowerment, a vehicle for the safe expression of emotions, as well as the ability to promote meaningful expression during times of transition, change, grief, loss, and adjustment.

As a mother, you encounter the impossible pressure to do it all, while drowning in needs that never seem to include your own. You're someone who feels everything deeply and gives everything freely, but still find yourself running on empty, feeling resentful and invisible, and wondering if this is just who you are now. You've been last on your own list for so long, you can barely remember what you actually need. But you're ready to make a change. You're ready to stop shrinking. You're ready to feel like yourself again. Most of all, you're ready to come home to who you are beneath all the giving. I want to help you get there.

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.
