I work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I am an Adlerian therapist, meaning I see value in belonging and meaning-making. I also integrate neuroscience. This is especially useful when helping clients work through developmental and relational issues, trauma, and grief. Situations and experiences do not define us. Instead, with insight and support, we have the opportunity to define who we are and what we might contribute to the world. I also integrate spirituality as a source of hope and connectedness to culture and community, as requested. The cornerstone of my approach lies in encouragement and empowerment.

You crave peace and normalcy again. But everywhere you turn, you find anxiety, overwhelm, and hopelessness staring you in the face. You feel like you are barely getting by each day, and hang on to the one shred of hope you have left, which seems to be fading with each new day and each new disappointment. You feel like you’ve tried everything- traditional talk therapy, yoga, self-help methods, spending time in nature, everything, but nothing has a lasting effect on the fear, exhaustion, and overwhelm you feel inside. You know soon something has to give. However, deep down you still have a shred of hope for something better.

There is a Swahali Proverb that says, “every vessel has its own waves” and here at Ankura Wellness we can help you drop anchor and find solace amid the waves. Using a person-centered approach, I think it is important to offer support for the development of change and growth. You see, I believe therapy is a process. A process that is vulnerable to us and to our emotions. Often it can leave us feeling capsized, caught in a rip current, and unable to navigate the open water on our own. On that note, let me take a moment to introduce myself!

Everyone experiences change throughout their lives, it’s what keeps us human. From welcoming a new bundle of joy into the world to grieving the loss of loved ones, our lives are constantly in transition. However, change is difficult. Adjusting to change can bring about stress, anxiety, lowered self-esteem, and depression. Yet, in these moments of change is where personal growth is cultivated. As a certified first responder associate, I help clients navigate through processing the trauma and transitions they experience in the field. Have you experienced trauma or a life transition? If so, therapy can help.

While my specialty is in expressive arts therapy, I know that not all people feel confident making art.
We each come from different backgrounds, with different stories and personalities. The best part of being you is being able to lean into those aspects that make you different. Life throws us obstacles like depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain & illness, substance use disorders & addiction, grief & loss in order to create us. Using meaning-making, life transitions, and self discovery, you can develop a sense of self-love and empowerment through approaching yourself from the past, present and future. Focus on yourself & and develop a sense of self-love and empowerment.

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.
