I work from a person-centered lens and use approaches such as Art Therapy, Somatic-based Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic.
Life can be a lot. Maybe you’re used to being the strong one, the one people count on, but lately it feels like you’re running out of steam. You might find yourself stuck in old patterns — overthinking, second-guessing, numbing out — and wondering if things will ever feel different. I get it. Therapy with me isn’t about being “fixed” (you’re not broken). It’s about having a space that’s yours — where you can take off the mask, say the messy stuff out loud, and not feel judged for it.

The parts of us that go unexpressed, unresolved, unseen or unloved can be picked up and honored. We can experience remarkable and swift positive change within a safe, honest and creative relationship. Perhaps, that relationship begins with a therapist but the goal is that it end with you in a loving relationship with yourself.

Depression and anxiety are some of the most debilitating conditions that a person can face. Caught in their grips we may feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. We may start to think that we are broken or that something is wrong with us. Not realizing that such conditions are far more common than we think. What makes it even more difficult is having nobody to speak to about our experience. You’ve dealt with this alone for long enough; let me show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine the dark cloud of depression lifting from your mind. See your anxiety melting away like ice in the sun.

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.
