About My Clients

Does your busy life have you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, or like you're not connecting to your true self anymore? My passion is to help others, especially through art. My 13 years of combined experience as an art teacher and a school counselor and my credentials can help you in your life journey to your best self. What I love about art therapy is that it is truly for everyone: any age, any gender, and does NOT require any artistic skill. Art Therapy is process-based.
