I provide an engaging and supportive environment to help you know yourself better and build lasting skills to cope during life's challenges. I work with adults, adolescents, and parent/child. We will work together towards a healthier and happier way of being. In our psychotherapy sessions, I consider our relationship to be an important aspect in our work. I include aspects of art therapy and psychoanalysis and find that a psychodynamic approach has a lasting affect on mood, relationships, behaviors and patterns. I can creatively encourage ways to help you express and untangle your concerns, as well as, bring about change.

Hi, everyone! I recognize that mental health is much more than what's happening mentally, but also deals with issues of physical health, social and environmental factors, and relationships. I'm culturally competent in several areas such as race, sexuality, gender identity, religion, and disability and have specialization in working with autistic individuals, individuals with ADHD, and children.

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.
