Art Therapy in Falmouth, ME
My approach integrates art therapy, EMDR, IFS, narrative therapy, and mindfulness to support emotional processing, mind-body awareness, and foster resilience.
You may be seeking therapy to better manage stress, grow from past experiences, navigate relationships, or feel more grounded in your day-to-day life and to have a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Many clients I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, often carrying the effects of trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Some are navigating life transitions, systemic challenges, identity exploration, or the emotional toll of an unpredictable world.

I draw from several treatment models, including CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Play and Art Therapy.
I work with clients across the lifespan navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, parenting, and life transitions. I believe that therapy begins with a trusting, genuine relationship. Clients can expect to work together to gain insight into current patterns and presenting problems, develop self-compassion, and learn tangible tools and strategies to connect insight to action. Children and teens can expect a warm and welcoming environment to explore who they are and navigate their challenges with support, building a strong foundation of mental health awareness and practices to carry into adulthood.

Not accepting new clients
I am currently out on maternity leave and will be back in practice in September 2026.
Welcome! I’m truly glad you’re here.
Parenting is one of life’s most profound journeys, and it’s not always easy. Many of us begin with hopeful, idealistic visions of what raising a child will look and feel like. But when reality diverges from that vision, especially when your child is struggling, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and painful. Grief may quietly settle in, and the weight of it all can seem impossible to carry alone.
You don’t have to!

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.
