About My Clients
Maybe you've been feeling overwhelmed, lost, misunderstood. Maybe you've tried talk therapy in the past and would like to try something different. I use art therapy in my practice because I believe it is healing and transformative. I am passionate about helping clients access their own creativity and power through art. My of my experience includes working with people who have Depression, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed art therapist with a master’s degree in art therapy, practicing since 2012. I specialize in supporting the neurodiverse community and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and post-traumatic stress disorder. My approach is eclectic, collaborative, and grounded in art therapy. Creativity can provide a different way to explore emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be difficult to put into words, but art is never required. Verbal therapy is always an option, and I may incorporate concepts from CBT and mindfulness based on your needs. I strive to create a space where you can feel understood, accepted, and free from the pressure to fit into a particular mold. Together, we can build greater self-understanding, develop tools for managing overwhelm and difficult emotions, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care and that it is a basic human right. In the therapy room, we consider all factors that contribute to mental health. I take an intersectional approach, analyzing with my client the different parts of their identity and how they intersect with one another in regard to systems of oppression and discrimination. I am passionate about celebrating neurodiversity and am myself neurodiverse. In the therapy room, we dismantle societal beliefs about 'high vs. low functioning' and explore what makes neurodiverse people strong and unique. I believe the reason for so much anxiety and depression in neurodiverse populations is indicative of how society has placed expectations (spoken and unspoken) on appearing 'normal' rather than celebrating our differences.
