Hi! I'm an art therapist and I believe that everyone has the ability to change, given the right space and resources.

Art Therapist in South Bend, IN

About My Clients

I love working with clients who want to focus on understanding their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. My clients tend to have goals but something is getting in their way such as fear, anxiety, depression, or other things. Maybe you are struggling to feel motivated because of external things in your life that feel out of control.

My Background and Approach

I'm first and foremost an art therapist. I tend to incorporate art with almost all my clients. If you absolutely hate it - we don't have to do it, but there's so much to benefit from art that we just can't get with words. I have training in Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am also trained in FLASH to desensitize painful memories. I incorporate IFS parts work. I love to help people better understand themselves and why they do the things they do. I believe we have good intentions behind our actions, even if the end result doesn't look like that. Understanding what lies underneath helps us to change out actions to match out intended result.
