Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to express what you’re going through? I help teens and adults turn difficult emotions into meaningful change through art therapy and talk therapy in Indianapolis. Many of the people I work with describe themselves as creative, sensitive, or deeply thoughtful, yet they often feel misunderstood or stuck. Whether you’re a teen discovering who you are, a young adult navigating big life changes, or an adult working through grief, burnout, or depression, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
I specialize in helping individuals who feel “too much” or “not enough” find balance through art therapy and talk therapy. Together, we use both words and creative expression to explore what’s beneath the surface transforming emotions into insight and insight into change. You don’t have to consider yourself an artist; the process can reveal new perspective.
Hi parents, I’m an Art Therapist in Indianapolis (Broad Ripple) who helps kids and teens express feelings, build coping skills, and boost self-esteem through creativity. Parents say my style is “relaxed, kind, and compassionate.” I’m here to support your child’s growth and emotional well-being.

I often use cognitive and mindfulness therapy approaches. Cognitive therapy explores your positive and negative thoughts, but your feelings are often more than that. I can integrate more approaches that will address feelings and emotions in your body. This is where mindfulness is helpful. Mindfulness uses your five senses, such as smells and touch to find ways to cope and heal.
