Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Is your fear, anxiety, or trauma keeping you from experiencing the joy and success you desire? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment in which one feels supported in their efforts to change as well as connected with one's strengths. I am an Art Therapist with the group practice ARTS Rx. I will work with you to help you overcome life challenges while achieving new goals. I'm here to listen, support and guide you on a healthy successful path.
As an Art Therapist my approach involves the creative process which does not require discussing traumatic events in order to heal. I believe true healing occurs when a strong therapeutic alliance is created, where the client feels seen, heard, and validated. Each client drives the course of their treatment, based on their individual needs.
We will work together in customizing an approach to best facilitate PTSD symptom reduction, behavior change, and improve overall quality of life. As a trauma informed LGBTQ+ therapist, I am committed to walking beside you every step of the way to begin to heal creatively.
