About My Clients
You might be a creative person who feels things deeply but struggles to put them into words. Maybe you're neurodivergent and tired of therapy that tries to "fix" how your brain works. Or you're burned out, anxious, or stuck, and talking in circles hasn't helped. I work with artists, writers, and anime fans, and with people who haven't picked up a crayon since grade school. If you want therapy with room for creativity and the whole you, we'll work well together.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC). I earned my MA in Mental Health Counseling on the Art Therapy track at the University of Indianapolis, and I now run my own practice, Crow;s Chroma Art Therapy, seeing clients online throughout Indiana. Art therapy is at the center of how I work. Sometimes the hardest things to say out loud are easier to show, and making something, whether it's a quick sketch, a collage, or just scribbling color on a page, can open up feelings and insights that talk alone might miss. You don't need any art experience or "talent" to benefit. We'll use whatever materials you have at home, and we can always mix art-making with traditional talk therapy depending on what feels right for you that day. I work collaboratively and at your pace. My role isn't to tell you who to be. It's to help you understand yourself more clearly and build the tools to move forward.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe creativity is something everyone has access to, not just "artists," and that making things with our hands can say what words can't yet. That belief is the heart of my practice and my life outside it. I'm a mixed-media artist, and you'll usually find me with paint, collage scraps, or found objects somewhere nearby. I also write fiction, much of it inspired by anime, which I love for the way it takes big feelings seriously. I value authenticity and ethics over polish. I'd rather be real with you than perfect. I believe people are the experts on their own lives, and that differences in how our brains and bodies work deserve curiosity and respect, not "fixing."
