Everyone deserves a safe space to heal from pain. I strive to provide a welcoming environment that is adaptable to my clients’ needs and interests. I am a Licensed Professional Art Therapist who loves utilizing art to communicate and navigate through life’s challenges. It is important to me to provide my clients with tools to build the proper toolbox they require to meet their goals and achieve their highest potential. I work with children and adults facing a variety of diagnoses including but not limited to: depression, bipolar, anxiety, trauma, outbursts/ tantrums, and neurodivergence.
My certified Therapy Dog, Opal Britches, would love to support you through your healing journey! I am specialized in Art Therapy and am certified as a Positive Discipline Parent Educator. I am growing my knowledge in Play Therapy Services. I strive to provide adaptable care for my clients' needs and interests.
Art has presented its healing properties to me throughout my life in various forms; I am passionate in sharing its therapeutic qualities. I enjoy showing and sharing art’s ability to heal. I’d be honored to guide you and your family through that experience.
