As a trauma-informed clinician, I'm trained in evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Expressive Arts.
While change can be an exciting invitation for growth and deeper self-discovery, life’s transitions can also feel disorienting and overwhelming. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. I’m here to listen and to help you strengthen your coping strategies for navigating the uncertainties and complexities of this moment. I support adult individuals in Louisiana and Florida who are adjusting to change and challenge in their life and experiencing related stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

An ideal client is anyone who shows up at your door understanding that something in their life is not working the way they want it to and having the desire to change that. I have been working in the substance abuse and mental health field for over a decade and have encountered many people with many different life situations and stories. Each person is unique and I believe that once we identify the core issue, we are well on our way to removing the block and creating the life a client truly desires. I use talk therapy along with EMDR to assist clients in achieving the goals they have set for themselves.

Sometimes you just need a safe and open space to talk. Whether your narrative is soul searching for growth, learning effective communication, and/or receiving purposeful psycho-education for life circumstances such as care-giving, an environment of reflective validation and professional support becomes pertinent for therapeutic success, prosperity, and mental wellness. Learning how to navigate through this highly stressful and complicated culture for every age group is easier when not feeling alone. I genuinely believe that we go from "bad" to "better", to "good" to "great" when the objectives of life are reached together.

Expressive Arts Therapists

What happens in expressive arts therapy?

In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.

How long does expressive arts therapy take?

An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.

How does expressive arts therapy help children?

Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.

What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?

Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
