I work with adults, adolescents, and children who benefit from slowing down and exploring their inner world in a different way.
As a Board-Certified Art Therapist, I use structured creative processes to help make internal experiences visible and more understandable. Rather than pushing for immediate answers, we externalize emotions, patterns, and parts of self through art, metaphor, and visual exploration so insight can emerge naturally.

Therapy is a journey for every individual. I see my clients as captains while I am their
navigator, helping them reach their destination through a process called change. Obstacles are
present in all journeys, but the barriers in each client’s life are so uniquely challenging that they
often feel “stuck” or unable to leave the cycle that is creating the problem. As a therapist, I aim to focus on specific emotions and feelings while listening to language and meaning. During sessions, I relate what my client says about their problem to the content of our discussion then use systems theory to construct thoughts about their problems.

When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
