Are you struggling with mood, identity, or relational issues that feel overwhelming? Do you have a difficult time accessing your feelings? Art can provide a visual language for clients who struggle with verbal processing or other aspects of traditional talk therapy. No previous art experience or skill is required to do art therapy. I work with young people interested in utilizing art and the art making process to facilitate the therapeutic growth. Through building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, they are able to feel safe and empowered to have agency within therapy and in their lives.
As an art therapist, I work with a wide variety of art mediums to explore, create, and investigate within sessions. I love working with young people, especially young adults who are interested in processing their emotions through art making. I am also passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community interested in exploring their gender and/or sexuality.
My practice as a therapist is founded on social justice and feminist frameworks, as well as relational-cultural theory. This means I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership between therapist and client, one that that relies on respect for each other’s knowledge and perspectives. I look forward to connecting with you and hearing more about your goals!
