About My Clients
In my work I see individuals who are exploring issues such as loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges and trauma. These issues we all face and navigate are the groundwork for growth and transformation. Using creative techniques and approaches, let’s explore together solutions that work for you, that align with your own truth and lead to healing.
My Background and Approach
I draw on a wide variety of theories (ie.,Client-centered, Existential) , combining them in a creative way in my practice to provide an integrative approach which is educational, solution-oriented and transformational. I am a practicing artist and use techniques and theories which resonate with the client to illuminate a path to change & healing through creativity. Some of the tools I use in my work are sand tray, all forms of art making, journaling, goal setting, relaxation techniques, guided visualizations, and creative writing, stress reduction techniques, reframing, and mindfulness/ meditation techniques. My undergraduate degree is in social work and I completed my masters degree in art therapy and counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a registered and board certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC). I have nearly three decades of experience in mental health.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a social justice cultivator, a nature lover and curator of creative work that leads to transformation. I believe we are whole and there are times in our lives we need someone to lead us back to our own truth.
