I also work within the Sports, Entertainment & Art Industry.
As a clinician, I am an avid believer that often times, my clients already possess all the tools needed to facilitate the change they are looking for within their lives, however, may be lacking the proper environment needed to process and achieve this. I provide my clients the space to gain clarity and understanding of the things they are in search for, as well as aid them in obtaining the things they hope to achieve and/or change within their lifestyle.

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. We all experience times in our lives when we feel a bit out of balance. Whether it's in our relationships, work life, or general well-being, balance is essential for fulfillment and happiness. Anxiety, depression, anger, conflict, stress and other self-defeating issues create imbalances. Therapy helps to restore, and many times creates, the balance that is needed in all of our lives.

Welcome to the world of therapy. I know it might look, sound, and seem scary. At times you may be unsure of yourself, uncertain of who you are and even what you can do. You may also be concerned about how you are presenting yourself to the world. No one should have to deal with their mental health alone, and you might not quite understand why you feel the way you do. Therapy can make a big difference in helping you navigate mental health issues, stress, grief, or difficult life situations.

You wake up already feeling behind. You went to bed exhausted but still anxious about everything you didn't finish the day before. As you scroll through social media, you see everyone’s highlight reel—someone just got promoted, another friend announced an engagement, and suddenly, your own life feels small. You check your email and there’s a request from your boss to stay late tonight, even though you promised yourself you'd set boundaries this week. But you don’t want to disappoint them, so you agree. Another promise to yourself broken.

I have vast individual psychotherapy experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions, anger management, stress management, goal setting, trauma and life transitions. A quote from Buddhist scholar that I love is by B. Alan Wallace, he states, "We're living in a world that contributes in a major way to mental fragmentation, disintegration, distraction and incoherence". With being trained in Wellness, Burnout Prevention & Mindfulness Strategies, I believes that a willingness to experience psychological events (thoughts, feelings, memories) without having to avoid them or let them unduly influence behavior is to obtain true psychological acceptance.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
