I specialize in supporting individuals navigating eating disorders, body image distress, chronic illness, trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, and OCD. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of shame, overwhelm, or disconnection from their bodies—and are exhausted from trying to “push through” on their own. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we understand the deeper roots of these struggles, not just the surface behaviors. My approach is compassionate, individualized, and trauma-informed, drawing from intuitive eating and nervous-system–based care.

Life can feel overwhelming. You may be stuck in old patterns, weighed down by anxiety, or wondering why satisfaction feels out of reach. My clients often come to me feeling lost or discouraged, yet I’m continually inspired by their resilience and willingness to try new ways of approaching life’s challenges.

My ideal client is someone navigating a significant life transition or feeling weighed down by the "heavy fog" of complex trauma, substance use, or chronic anxiety. They are often individuals who have faced systemic challenges or deep-seated family dynamics and are now looking for more than just a quick fix; they need a safe harbor to process their past. They want to break cycles—whether that’s the cycle of addiction, the grip of OCD, or the shadow of domestic violence—because they are ready to reclaim their sense of self and build a future rooted in resilience and personal autonomy.

Art Therapy Therapists
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.
