I have an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Art Therapy from Antioch University and a BA in Communications from the University of Washington.
I provide an opportunity for individuals, couples, bands, and/or families to tell and shape their stories using verbal and visual means. Creativity is not only an emotional outlet, it also provides a window into other parts of our selves and has the power to create profound change.

These could include art therapy, dream work, movement, mindfulness, observation of symbolic processes or reminiscing.
Are you struggling with something? You might feel like life isn’t as vibrant as it once was, or relationships are fraught with conflict. It can be difficult to get out of these places in life on our own. You might feel like it’s best to tough it out or figure it out alone, but you don’t have to. Most of my clients struggle with depression and trauma which causes their lives to feel less like places of their own creation and more like somewhere they just ended up. I welcome clients of all backgrounds who are seeking agency and meaning.

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.
