Finding peace in a time of many unknowns can be one of life's most difficult challenges. Children & teens, especially, have difficulty expressing their deep and uncomfortable feelings through words. Often showing these parts of themselves through negative behaviors. With expressions of irritability, aggression, sadness, withdrawl, clinginess, yelling, difficulty in friendships, and worry. These symptoms can be worrisome and overwhelming to parents and caregivers, as they try to provide support. Adults, additionally, struggle to find peace and contentment through challenges, and can find relief here.

Depending on your needs we may enhance talk therapy with EMDR, IFS, Clinical Hypnosis, Ketamine Therapy, DBT, Myers Briggs, ADHD coaching, and/or Expressive Arts Therapy.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are - Carl Jung… This quote has been my guiding inspiration on my own journey and in my work with others. It can be so easy to lose yourself in the day to day endeavor of living. This can be particularly true for those who have suffered with a history of trauma. Fortunately, within a trusting therapeutic relationship, it is possible to find yourself and become the person you truly are. I have witnessed this happen again and again.

I am trained in yoga, play therapy, "inner child work", and therapeutic expressive arts because I recognize that healing is a whole-body experience.
Do you feel stuck in past traumas, disconnected, discouraged or overwhelmed? Does your child find growing up complicated and confusing? While life offers many beautiful moments, navigating today’s world can overwhelms us. We may struggle understanding our feelings or our behaviors and feel unable to move beyond our worst moments. But growth, healing, and relief are possible! Are you ready to move past limiting experiences and change internal hurtful messages? My passion is to help others return to -or discover for the first time- that place of curiosity, safety, and joy that lives inside us all.

I am an Expressive Arts Therapist, Mental Health Counselor, 200 Hour Certified Yoga Instructor, and Restorative Partner Yoga Practitioner.
Healing is real and possible. Suffering does not have to last. I help clients live authentically, find more peace, and connect more to self and others by increasing awareness and acceptance of emotions, increasing body discernment/somatic mindfulness, and enhancing the body/mind/spirit connection. Feeling better comes through learning to regulate the nervous system through the reprocessing of old trauma and healing one's attachment wounds, expressing emotions using expressive arts/music/movement/drumming/psychodrama/writing/etc., learning to re-frame negative thoughts, increasing shame resilience, and practicing self-compassion.

I have been specifically trained in EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, expressive arts, Emotionally Focused Therapy (for work with couples), and sand tray therapy.

I believe peace and well-being are developed through a balance of learning to accept things as they are, while also striving to improve each day. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe environment for individuals to express themselves fully, to help them see themselves as the incredible people they already are, and assist them in moving towards the person they want to be.

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.
