Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? I work with people who appear to be functioning well on the outside but are struggling internally—navigating anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, trauma, or relationship challenges. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change.

This may be through art making, working with miniature figurines in sand, therapeutic play or trauma informed talk therapy.
My practice focuses on children, adolescents, women and families. Some deal with anxiety or social difficulties; some deal with trauma and depression. Some are grieving. Some are navigating life changes; others are navigating difficult environments, such as home or school. Some are finding out who they are and embracing their passions, while navigating their environments where they may not be fully accepted yet. This may be due to learning or neurological differences, circumstances of adoption, divorce and or/blended families, or gender or sexual identities. Sometimes work is done individually, sometimes in family groupings.

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.
