I often incorporate creative interventions and activities such as art, games, videos, or music.
I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults ( college age). Do you struggle with fear and anxiety, often thinking you’re not good enough, or that no one likes you? Do you lack self confidence and often compare yourself to others? Are you afraid to try something new, thinking you will fail? Maybe you feel lonely or seem to have problems forming good relationships with others. Whatever you're going through, I provide a safe, non- judgmental space for you, students and adults to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Grand Rapids, MI 49504
I am a Registered Art Therapist, Perinatal Mental Health Certified and TF-CBT trained; foundations in trauma, attachment (2 years in Infant Mental Health) and family therapy (8 years).
A few daytime openings are available! It's so hard on our bodies and minds to be pregnant, give birth or endure loss yet we're expected to carry on with our lives like usual. People that haven't experienced the physical complications and distressing symptoms can't relate. Talking about our "stuff" is uncomfortable because we often feel shame or guilt as we think we should be grateful or we're not feeling good enough. Pregnancy and postpartum is unlike any other journey; sharing our bodies with another human is hard, being a new mom is hard, loss/change is hard! Remember, you are not alone and with help you can be well.

No one is perfect. We've all behaved petty at some point in our lives. Over the years, petty has become popular, going viral via social media around the world; however, what I've learned in life & in this field is whether we have been that person or been impacted by someone, we can all chase the root down to something deeper than the situation, i.e. sadness, anxiety, trauma, etc. I am here to offer you a non-judgmental space to process from the petty to highly problematic experience. I invite you to work with me to heal from the inside out (or root to the surf ace) & have more peaceful experiences with yourself & others. Let's talk!

Using techniques such as art, challenging and changing thoughts and core beliefs through CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy can be helpful in managing symptoms and healing for you.
Coping with your anxiety or depression is hard, especially alone. How about starting in a safe space where, together, we can navigate through this. Are you struggling with communication and problem solving? Life is already too stressful to come home to feeling like no one is being heard or not being able to talk with your loved ones. Are you feeling challenged with the symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) like weight gain or hirsutism? I can help you feel supported and process those feelings that come with PCOS, anxiety and PTSD.

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.
