I provide trauma-informed treatment for individuals who have experienced cumulative trauma through childhood and adulthood. Our sessions can be a place to navigate depression, anxiety, fears and worries, relationship struggles, identity, life transitions, and more. For many of us, we are trying to process a variety of past and current stressors; our time together can be used to practice resetting the nervous system. With a focus on understanding the impact of trauma and personal experiences, I can help you gain a better sense of identity and compassion for self. I value creating a safe environment where you feel seen and accepted.

I am a registered art therapist, but if art isn’t your cup of tea, that’s okay too!
Life can feel overwhelming and exhausting, but I believe that effective coping and shifting our mindset can make day-to-day life not feel this way. I believe that by letting go of the anxieties and self-doubt that holds us back, we can finally get in touch with the parts of ourselves that we want to celebrate. Sometimes we feel disconnected with those parts of ourselves, and my goal is to help you reconnect with them.

Some modalities that I often use are: EMDR, TBRI, Accelerated Resolution Therapy ( ART), Family Systems, Theraplay, and Narrative Work.
Are you hurting? Is your family hurting from unresolved trauma? Do you wish for peace in your home and relationships? I work with adults, children, and families that have experienced trauma, adoption, or attachment concerns. When you are struggling, it is often hard to see hope or the light at the end of the tunnel. Our primary attachments in our lives form a roadmap for all future relationships. When trauma or an attachment break happens, that throws us off course reeling and hurting. I help others find their compass to their roadmap of relationships so they can find joy in their lives and others again.

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.
