Individuals of all ages are welcome as we use various techniques, such as EMDR, art, sand tray, music, movement, mindfulness, and journaling, to reach your goals.
You are valuable, and your life matters. No matter how you've been hurt, the ability to heal is within you. I work with people who have past experiences of enduring various forms of abuse. Does your past linger in your current life through painful memories, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others with anxiety, insomnia, unhappiness, or low self-esteem? You want to heal from the sting of the events from your past and step into your full potential in every area of your life. Deep down, you know you deserve more and are capable of accomplishing more than the barriers that are holding you back.

With adolescents, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy in conjunction with art therapy or sandtray therapy, depending on each adolescent's personality and preferences.
Many young kids and teenagers struggle with loss, trauma, divorce, or other life changes. Some kids and teens struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, and even suicidal thoughts. Many kids and teenagers need a safe place to process their thoughts and emotions outside of their family unit.

People are not broken and they don’t need to be “fixed”. We need insight, tools and new perspectives to make good choices and discover what it is we really need and want. Therapy is a process of discovery and implementation of the findings.

You know the type of therapists they show on TV or in the movies? The therapists who only ask you, “how does that make you feel?” and only speak in dull voices that would make anyone fall asleep? I can assure you – I am definitely not that type of therapist! I am personable, genuine, and laid-back. My style is warm and depth-oriented. I think it is essential to offer a space where you can feel safe to be honest about what is happening in your life. Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression or struggling with a life transition, it is the relationship between you and me that leads to insight and healing.

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.
