About

As a talk & art therapist, I help clients address mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma and difficulty adjusting to change. I work individually with (pre) teens & adults with a strength-based, person-centered, and holistic approach. When we work together, you will experience genuine warmth and curiosity about your experiences for deeper reflection and processing. Art in therapy helps people find a way to visualize and understand their experiences. I offer patient, empathic support when working through trauma with safety in mind. Art making with diverse materials supports self-care & health. I specialize in nature-informed art therapy. This includes the use of ethically sourced natural materials in therapy either indoors or outside. In the past, I have worked as a professional artist & professor in higher education. I am well informed about visual art materials/processes. I am sensitive to diverse populations and practice cultural humility.
