Many first-time therapy clients are looking for answers as to why they struggle with everyday life experiences that most others "seem" to easily handle. With 20 years of experience, I am skilled at addressing an individual's therapeutic needs using the field's gold standard in treatment. I have enjoyed working with young adults on managing, minimizing, and even eliminating their symptoms when it comes to the full spectrum of anxiety disorders. In recent years, I've obtained certifications in treating ADHD, Autism, OCD, addiction, and CPTSD (complex trauma), as these are very often underlying anxiety and relational challenges.

For trauma work in particular, I use body based modalities and the art of storytelling to connect to the mind, body and spirit and find balance.
You don’t have to perform your pain to be seen. You don’t have to overgive to be loved.
I work with the LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrants, kink/BDSM community, polyamorous or nonmonogamous folks, and survivors who are done with shrinking, burning out, or wondering if they’re "too much." You might be holding grief, longing, or rage that never had a safe place to land, especially if your identity has been shaped by generational trauma, family obligation, or code-switching for safety.
As a relational, trauma-informed and somatic therapist, I hold space for both the ache and the aliveness in you. I am trained in EMDR and IFS.

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.
