My website
You may find sessions with me to be compassionate, supportive, practical, thought-provoking, or full of mark-making, play, or even humor! I love using the arts to make connections that heal. Who says therapy has to be formal? My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, authentic and therapeutic safe space for you. I’m here to walk beside you or your child as you explore conflicts, feelings and truths; grieve the loss of a loved one; or learn new skills in a comfy space. Connections in expressive arts therapy become meaningful when they engage the whole person: body, mind, emotions.
Engaging multiple senses through different artistic modalities helps to integrate experiences in a way that words alone often cannot. Joy and spontaneity can counter pain and trauma, reminding us that healing is not just about processing wounds but also about rediscovering vitality, play, creativity, connections, and meaning.
Metaphors and symbolism and joy that is summoned through the arts in a comfortable space can make your insights even more profound and deeply satisfying. I invite you to reach out today!

I often use Expressive Arts Therapy in my practice, which involve all of the senses. One session might include a variety of experiences! Our focus could be on your history, but it could also be on how we can expand your capacity for joy, laughter, and enlivenment- in other words, let's concentrate on wellness and use the arts to make that happen!
