Life is filled with challenges and sometimes we find ourselves not having the skills, knowledge, resources, or “neurology” to manage. I believe that counseling can help people identify the roadblocks which prevent them from feeling competent and hopeful. I view each person who chooses to work with me as unique and capable, and together we build a relationship where humor, trust, and compassion facilitates our work. Together we work towards removing or reducing roadblocks to help you reach your personal goals. It’s not always easy, but it is a journey that is often life changing. I feel honored to go on the journey with you.

In working with clients, I consider the whole person, their mind, their body, their spirit. These three aspects aren’t separate but are in dynamic conversation: chronic physical symptoms are connected to our mental and emotional states, our feelings of depression relate to how we treat and relate to our bodies and sensorial lives. I enjoy supporting people facing life’s challenges, who are looking for a somatic dimension to their healing. I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult relationships, cope with grief and chronic illness, process the pandemic, and manifest greater depth, vibrancy, and purpose in their lives.

My clinical work blends a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s individual therapy goals through evidence-based methods including CBT, behavioral modification, trauma-informed treatments, expressive arts and IFS models, helping clients draw connections between their lived experience and its impact on their emotions and behavior.
Through years of home and community-based mental health experience, I've developed a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults deepen their connections to others and to themselves. As a former clinician in early intervention, I've worked closely with clients facing peri- and postnatal mood and anxiety symptoms, those impacted by NICU journeys, trauma and loss, neurodiversity, complex medical conditions, new or chronic mental health symptoms, ADHD and attachment disruptions. For adults and parents, children and teens, I bring a warm, collaborative and client-centered approach to therapy.

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.
