Welcome. I'm letting you know that the emotion, emptiness, noise, or pain doesn’t need to be this extreme. It is possible to feel other ways. In therapy, we will work on creating a space in which you feel truly comfortable sharing. Then, we can look at your pain in a measured and safe way. We will work to make change, whether it’s finding hope, easing pain, or making meaning. I am an art therapist and a psychotherapist. You need zero experience or skill to engage in art therapy. It is not about making a masterpiece, it's a way to communicate. I do have a waiting list for in-person, so please connect for availability
I provide both art therapy and psychotherapy. There is no pressure to make art. I will wade into the gunk with you, and we'll find a way through. Also, art can go places that words can't. It helps us find the hurt. Art can regulate or energize us. We can throw it away or treasure it. Art can serve as a metaphor for what is too hard to say out loud.
There is nothing too extreme or too trivial if you are hurting. My primary experience is with individuals with complex-ptsd or developmental trauma, neurodevelopmental disorders, mood disorders, severe and persistent mental illness, and/or comorbid disorders; I have worked intensively with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Starting at fourteen, I have worked in schools, hospitals, forensic settings, memory care, day programs, and outpatient. I adapt well to individuals with complex symptoms and multiple or unclear diagnoses. Art therapy can be a place to land when nothing else feels like it's helping.

While I am both a psychotherapist and an art therapist, art therapy is my passion. In an art therapy session, we may either start by checking in or I might present a directive. You will engage in art making, and we will reflect on the process. It is not about creating a masterpiece. It is about the process not the product. We will reflect on your work and see what came up.

My primary orientation includes humanistic and therefore providing warmth is one of my top priorities. The strength of the therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of success in therapy. I aim to provide a safe place with no judgment. I focus on finding meaning and developing identity. We will explore your internal experience, and look for things you may not have realized were there.
