I am passionate about supporting women—from middle school to post menopause(ages 10–80+)—through life’s most meaningful (and enlightening) transitions. I help women navigate social anxiety, people pleasing, depression, imposter syndrome, pre and postpartum, parenting, OCD, body Disphoria/ Dismorphia, ADHD/Autism, divorce, and trauma. I help women develop healthy relationships with themselves and others in order to create a more authentic, confident, and balanced future, surrounded by those who truly love and support them.

I currently offer individual therapy to clients in both Maine and Wisconsin. Many clients I work with carry day to day stress and anxiety that is rooted in trauma. We tend to think of trauma as one big moment, but it can also be a culmination of moments leading to a negative narrative of the self and a shift in the way we see and interact in the world. My goal is to teach new skills that will help promote control over ones thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can improve health and happiness across multiple settings- emotionally, psychosomatically, in families or relationships and other areas of life.

Along with talk therapy, I integrate art therapy, mindfulness, and body-based practices to support insight and healing.
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck—like your thoughts just won’t slow down. Or a loss of motivation has slowed things down too much. Maybe a recent change has left you unsteady, or you feel disconnected from yourself or others. These feelings can weigh you down, leaving you unsure how to move forward. You want a space to pause, breathe deeply, and let things settle. Through conversation and, when you choose, creative expression, we can uncover meaning, reconnect with your strengths, and help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and ready for next steps.

Art Therapy
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.
