Imagine a space where you can be totally and completely yourself without fear of judgment. Healing is a creative and personal process which requires us to use many tools. Together, we can navigate the art studio to express conflicted emotions, practice mindfulness, reflect and create insight into your inner world. I provide an integrative approach to therapy that marries both art therapy and traditional psychotherapy. No experience using art materials is needed. Here we can traverse the challenges of daily life, promote positive change, increase self-esteem, destress and cultivate a creative outlet to process difficult experiences. In addition to Art Therapy and traditional talk psychotherapy, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to promote positive thinking, improve interpersonal relationships, reduce stress and anxiety.

As a social justice advocate and artist I believe we create positive change in our world through excavation, collaborating and healing on an individual and collective level. My company, Art Therapy Place, provides the healing power of art therapy to the creative community of Brooklyn. Through individual art therapy sessions, group workshops and art exhibitions, we create a space to decrease stigma around mental health and bring people together for art-making and self-care. Our space is designed for art exhibitions and community-based initiatives to support and elevate community members and facilitate trauma healing.
