My approach as a board certified art therapist is to use creative and sensory exploration to navigate deeper feelings when words are difficult to articulate. Art therapy is ageless; any age can benefit with no artistic skill required! Some challenges I help children process through include: anxiety, trauma, ADHD, school related issues, and divorce. I also offer the option of traditional talk therapy to work through parenting, pregnancy, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Parents talk through discipline, bonding, anger, and building trust with their kids. Tele-therapy is also available for Indiana and Illinois residents.
Art therapy works on a deeper level reaching the subconscious mind. This can be especially beneficial when verbal processing is challenging or not yet developed due to age, or speaking with someone face-to-face feels too intimidating.
I foster a place of safety to express creatively, honestly, and without judgement. Every session is specifically tailored to meet your individual needs. With my experience working with infants, children, & adults, I am passionate to share my knowledge with you and your family.
