About My Clients
My clients are curious about the benefits of Art Therapy and may choose to include creation and reflection, mindfulness, and yoga in addition to classic verbal psychodynamic interventions into their sessions. My clients are children and adults that have experienced grief and loss, want to build healthy coping strategies, want to improve the quality of their relationships including the one they have with themself.
My Background and Approach
With a foundation in trauma-informed care, I bring a diverse skill set to my practice, integrating my experience as a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher for both children and adults, with my experience supporting the wellness of adults in inpatient psychiatric care. My rich expertise as a Student Service Manager and Administrator in New York City Public Schools has allowed me the opportunity to support the diverse wellness needs of students, families, and educators across Brooklyn. My profound love of the healing qualities inherent in the art process in combination with the utilization of yoga and mindfulness practices has helped to inform a holistic therapeutic approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit to foster resilience and inner peace.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a therapist, I believe deeply in the healing properties in art making and reflection. I have embodied a rich and dynamic yoga and meditation practice personally and believe that mindfulness and yoga helps children and adults alike as these skills can develop and support a greater sense of awareness, agency and control over their behavior. As a seasoned public educator and public servant, I have a deep love for nurturing and learning from children and believe in the healing power of relationships to promote resilience and healing.
