I look forward to helping you with anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, narcissistic abuse and the stress that life can throw at us!

Art therapy can also help us discover things that we could not process only through talking.

For years you’ve hidden yourself away, tucked into a box, because you were told you weren’t good enough as you are. You were told you had to follow “the rules” of your family, friends, or religious community in order to be loved and accepted. Rules like: what to wear, how to act, who to love. So you did. You lived by their rules, afraid that if you shared your opinions, beliefs, and identities with your family, friends, or religious community they would have nothing to do with you. And you can’t do it anymore. You deserve to be fully you. I can help.
