Art Therapy in Milford, OH
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help challenge negative thinking patterns and Accelerated Resolution Therapy ( ART) to process trauma and turn negative brain images into positive images
I love working with older adolescents and adults, specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety, women's issues, and disordered eating. During our sessions, my clients learn how to express their emotions and use effective coping skills to manage symptoms. I strive to provide a safe space where my clients feel heard, welcomed, and can be open and say anything on their minds without fear of judgment.

Using approaches such as DBT, Art Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness, we will identify unhelpful patterns, improve emotional regulation, and enhance resilience.
Feeling overwhelmed? Stuck in patterns that aren't working, unsure how to move forward? Therapy can provide a framework to regain a sense of balance and direction. I believe therapy provides a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood—sometimes for the first time. Life can be overwhelming! I work with kids, single adults, and couples to help navigate anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences have shaped you while building insight and developing tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I integrate depth-oriented, analytical, trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, narrative, and art therapy alongside CBT, DBT, and PCIT to create an individualized approach.
Therapy should be deep, exploratory, and sometimes even a little fun—laughter and gratitude matter. Life invites us to grow and heal, but also to pause, discern, and hold what’s worth cherishing. Many clients come to therapy struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, intrusive thoughts, trauma, grief, stress, or relationship challenges, including recovery from narcissistic abuse. Whether navigating crisis or seeking clarity during life transitions, I offer a compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow with authentic strengthening of self-trust, deepening insight, and rediscovering meaning while honoring your story.

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.
