I offer person-centered, trauma-informed art therapy and psychotherapy. My multifaceted experience lends me an adaptive approach in supporting each individual's goals in a supportive, non-judgmental manner. Sometimes that involves art-making, sometimes conversation, often both. I personally understand the transformative capacity of creative expression, and enjoy guiding people through that process. I am passionate about the neuroscientific reasoning behind human experiences, habits, patterns, and responses. I find art an invaluable tool in illuminating and facilitating that reasoning. I specialize in working with adolescents and their families to navigate this unique and sometimes challenging stage of life. I also have expertise in art therapy for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, brain injury recovery, and caregiver support relating to these disorders. Art-making is a whole-brain activity from which anyone of any age can benefit. In addition to being a healthy coping strategy, the process of creating can help the body process trauma in a way that words alone cannot. Art experience, talent, or even interest is not necessary or required for us to work together.

Sometimes we realize that we feel helpless, overwhelmed, or angry with our place or circumstances in life. If we are struggling to find comfort in our partner after infidelity, if we have trouble letting go of anxiety, or if we have found ourselves using substances in an unhealthy way, then it might be time to find someone we can trust to help us find that path through. Recognizing that you want change in your life is both powerful and frightening, but with support and care I believe that you will be able to begin to understand just how capable you are to build the life you want and deserve.

Are you worried your child or teen is struggling to make or keep friends? Does your child have a hard time in social situations? Do they seem angry, depressed, or anxious? As a parent, are you unsure how to help? I work with children and teens to help them develop new life and social skills using talk, play therapy, and movement. During therapy your child will learn to better recognize their feelings and develop new coping strategies that will help improve their relationships. My goal is to help your child gain a better understanding of them selves and become more connected with others. Using play therapy, talk, and movement I work with children and teens to make positive behavioral changes. As well as working individually with your child and teen, I believe it is important to partner with parents to track improvement and jointly develop strategies that build on individual sessions. As well as individual sessions, I offer social skills groups and work individually with parents offering consultation and support.
