I’ve been an LPC and art therapist for awhile now but I’ve been an artist most of my life. Being able to blend art and therapy has been personally and professionally rewarding. We can talk through your emotional struggles. But for clients interested in exploring a nonverbal means of expression through the art process, art therapy can be the shift that is needed for change and healing.

I have a master’s degree in art therapy. I am a registered and board certified art therapist, a licensed professional counselor and I am trained in play therapy. My work experience includes both medical and mental health settings. My goal is to offer support and to challenge you to discover peace in the unfolding and process of life. I see children as young as five, adolescents and adults in all stages of life.

If we agree to work together, we will work collaboratively to address the issues you want to address and discover ways to cope with overwhelming emotions that are helpful for you. My work with clients has included help with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationships, stress, trauma, childhood issues , individuals dealing with medical and health issues and life transitions.

I approach therapy from a client centered, strengths based and experiential viewpoint. I use narrative therapy,motivational interviewing, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with clients to help them process their life challenges and discover solutions that fit them. For clients who are inspired to work experientially I use art therapy. Most importantly, I will listen without judgement.

When I am not working, I enjoy making art, listening to music, reading, practicing yoga and spending time with my dog.
