I have received post graduate training in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Practice in Trauma, Expressive Arts Therapy, Internal Family Systems and sound healing.
I believe that the best therapy is done when your relationship with your therapist has a strong foundation, meaning, you like and trust your therapist enough so the therapy space becomes a place for creating the changes you want. I believe in people and their ability to heal. We all develop patterns of being and thinking and sometimes those patterns just don't work anymore. I am compassionate when exploring emotional and psychological patterns, anxiety, depression or relationship issues to establish new boundaries, and feel empowered.

You know those coping tactics you've been leaning on? They may have done their job until now, and for that, they deserve a thank you. Now, it's time to get to know yourself well enough to find new, healthier ways of dealing with life that fit you better. I grew up immersed in a vibrant and diverse community, which has influenced my approach to therapy. It also instilled in me the importance of listening—really listening—to the stories people share. We tell stories to process pain, and the best way to process is to have a good listener.

Do you or your child struggle to express your emotions with words? Sometimes, traditional talk therapy may not be sufficient to overcome the obstacles that hinder us from understanding our feelings. By using art therapy, we access a different part of our brain that promotes growth, self-discovery, and support. We'll delve into your past experiences to understand how they shaped the person you are today. Through collaborative work, we will strive towards understanding your behavior patterns, how they may be inhibiting you from living your best life, and find ways to overcome them.

Being vulnerable, feeling safe, laughing, and pushing past the distress are just a few of the moments that are shared in the therapeutic relationship journey. I often work with individuals, children, families and couples who feel lost and hopeless after experiencing trauma or feeling stuck by perpetuating issues. At times, experiences that we go through may also lead to anxiety, depression, and feeling lost for how to move forward. I work with individuals to help identify ways to have these "rocks" removed and develop plans that could be accessed outside of our therapy sessions.

Expressive Arts Therapists

What happens in expressive arts therapy?

In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.

How long does expressive arts therapy take?

An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.

How does expressive arts therapy help children?

Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.

What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?

Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
