Living in an increasingly complicated world with seemingly unlimited choices about “the right way to be” can lead us to feel lost, alienated, and overwhelmed. Looking inwardly at our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can be confusing and challenging. My goal is to help you to be able to see yourself openly, honestly, and without judgment in order to heal and grow. From this vantage point, we can work together to develop clear goals and construct a caring path for change.

As a person who struggles with day to day stress, you feel tired everyday. It seems you have tried everything but nothing works. Do you feel the same scene playing out in your life over and over again, but you have the inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing intolerable feelings and even more consumed in trying to figure out why you feel this way? My belief is that trauma is the root cause. Most trauma generates from a past or current relationship and can be healed. Even the most severe trauma can be healed.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. It is often hard for us to accept help due to society’s belief that we should “handle it” on our own. These unhelpful thinking patterns impact how we interact in our relationships, as well as how we process things as they are happening. I strive to work with clients through the hard times while making the process as enjoyable as possible. We can get caught in bad relationships, trauma cycles, grudges, and anger.

I am so excited to be able to offer Art Therapy as a unique counseling alternative to traditional talk therapy. I believe strongly that through the art making process one can learn a great deal about themselves and find ways to handle current challenges. I have a studio filled with everything from drawing materials and paints to clay, plaster, found objects and much more. Together we can explore different mediums and help you find your voice through the creative process. My background in the creative arts allows us the opportunity to add music, poetry/journaling, movement and drama if you would like. No prior artistic skills are needed. My goal is exploring the art process and thoughts and feelings that arise from the creation of art work rather than achieving a polished finished product. I look forward to providing therapy in the art studio with individuals, families and groups.

Hi! I am a licensed, board certified art therapist with 14 years of clinical experience. I became an art therapist out of my love for connecting with others, making art, and learning about human behavior and emotion. Creative art-making can be an incredibly powerful and enjoyable tool in the therapy process. It allows us to express feelings for which we often cannot find words, allowing for growth, change, and healing. Brain imaging technology has shown art-making increases neural activity in the parts of our brains responsible for resiliency, critical thinking, coping skill development, empathy, and stress.

What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
