Clients that have said I am exactly what they have been searching for are adults and couples who look “fine” but feel exhausted, on edge, stuck, or alone inside. They come in for trauma healing, couples conflict and disconnection, recovery from narcissistic abuse or betrayal, high-functioning adult ADHD overwhelm, and burnout from carrying too much. You may be overthinking, walking on eggshells, shutting down, snapping, or doubting yourself. My team and I use a warm, trauma-informed, evidence-based approach (EMDR, attachment work, skills) to calm the nervous system, rebuild trust, strengthen boundaries, and create real change.

I'm a licensed counselor and certified art therapist with specialized trauma training.
I hear you. You feel on edge, anxious, or unsettled after what happened—an accident, medical experience, loss of loved one (or pet), or sudden terrible scare that your system hasn't been able to shake. Even if life looks "fine" on the outside, your body reacts as if something is still wrong. You want relief, clarify, and a way to feel calm and like yourself again without endlessly rehashing the past. You're looking for therapy that actually helps your nervous system reset and move forward.

Sometimes sh!t happens.
And it can feel overwhelming to ask for help—especially from someone you don’t know yet.
What happens when the story you had for your life doesn’t go as planned? When the job, the relationships, or the beliefs that once grounded you no longer feel like home? When trauma, anxiety, or depression leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who you are now?
I believe it takes courage to pause and say, “Something isn’t working anymore.” And I also believe this: your story isn’t over.

What you've lost has completely upended your world. The death of someone central to your life, the end of a relationship, a major transition...these things shatter our sense of self and the future we imagined we'd have. Nothing makes senses anymore. As if that's not enough, "secondary losses" keep piling up: shifts in income, housing, routines and roles you never prepared to take on. Important decisions are hanging over your head, but you're too overwhelmed and exhausted to even think about what comes next. It's all happening with the background pressure to "move on" and "get back to life." It's just too much.

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.
