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.
