Help find the words that might be tucked away through art expression. Art therapy is about the process of creating, not the final product. No artistic skills are needed. All you need is curiosity about expressing yourself in a new way. I have a Ph.D. in Art Therapy from Adler University and a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler University. I am also an Associate Professor in the Art Therapy and Counseling Program at Adler Univesity.

Healthy relationships are an essential ingredient to living your best life possible. No matter your relationship status, it’s important to have support as you navigate relational stressors within different life stages. I respect the vulnerability in reaching out for help. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck and disconnected from your partner. Or having a hard time understanding your relationship patterns. Maybe it’s difficult to express or manage your emotions. Learning who you are in relationships is a lifelong process! My therapeutic approach is direct, emotion-focused, and client-centered so we can walk through that process together.

In such busy times you may be feeling tired of doing things for everyone else or doing what others want you to do. Possibly tiptoeing around everyone's feelings and ignoring your own. Maybe you grew up fast, taking care of other's needs long before you were old enough to take care of yourself. You could be reaching your limit or know it can’t go on this way. Putting everyone else first can lead to feeling exhausted, overburdened, or taken for granted. You don't have to do it on your own to have more peaceful and happy life. I learned at a young age we can overcome difficulties when we have someone to listen with care and concern.

Clients come to me and receive compassionate care without negative judgment as a means to make meaning of the events of their lives. That new understanding, gained in a supportive coaching relationship with the therapist, becomes the foundation for positive change. Open and self-aware clients tend to want validation of their thoughts and challenges to what hasn't worked. Skeptical clients tend to desire safety and assurance that someone is on their side. Regardless of the category, clients tend to get what they need from one session to the next.

You’re trying to overcome the effects of trauma or you’re having difficulty coping with a recent life transition, such as adjusting to college, a new career, relationship issues, or a new diagnosis. You feel like you have tried everything to manage your anxiety or depression, but you’re just feeling stuck. Making long-lasting change can be difficult, but therapy can help you to discover new ways of coping. Together, we will take steps to meet your goals and bring awareness to patterns of thoughts and behaviors that have developed over time.

Life is constantly moving, changing, and evolving. Sometimes it feels like too much to take on alone. In a fast-paced world with many truths, I enable individuals to fully understand themselves in a warm, judgment-free environment. I work with individuals undergoing life transitions who may be questioning their purpose/identity, grappling with anxiety, or struggling with their relationship to food and exercise. I believe healing begins within oneself and use holistic, tailored, and interpersonal approaches to therapy. This allows individuals to explore their story and begin to rewrite their narrative.

In times of stress, it can feel as though it's you against the world and that control is limited. My goal is to foster a sense of both acceptance of these situations and commitment to tackling them in an adaptive way while also exploring how previous experiences have shaped the way you approach life. I approach therapy in a warm, non-judgmental way so as to foster a comfortable setting for clients that encourages communication. With this, continuous effort is made to facilitate affirmative, validating, and open dialogue. Above all else, I place emphasis on showing up as authentically as possible in the therapy room.

If any of this sounds familiar, I can help you to make sense of what's happening, and develop strategies to better manage your life. As you've noticed, it not only affects you; it impacts your relationships with others.
