I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Treatment Practitioner, and Board Certified Art Therapist in Virginia. I have extensive experience working with clients with co-occurring disorders. I believe art has the therapeutic power to heal, empower, and engage those isolated by addiction, depression, anxiety, fears, anger, and pain. I incorporate integrative and cognitive approaches, recognizing the transformative value of creativity in therapy.
I received my Master's degree in Art Therapy from George Washington University with a focus on Trauma-Informed Care. I believe in the healing power of creativity. I incorporate integrative and cognitive approaches to foster growth, empower clients toward their goals, and help them discover their potential.
I use an integrative approach implementing CBT, DBT, positive psychology, and person-centered care. I maximize the therapeutic value of art to heal, empower, and engage those isolated by addiction, depression, anxiety, and fears. I provide innovative therapy that honors your unique story and strengths.
