I am a board-certified, Registered Art Therapist and Licensed Counselor with experience working with children, teens, and adults. Many of my clients need help dealing with feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem. Using evidence-based practices, I help my clients gain understanding and develop skills to overcome a crisis or personal challenge. People develop assertive communication skills, self-regulation skills, and time-management skills and build self-confidence in the process. By guiding clients toward developing positive thoughts and behavior shifts, they can challenge old thought patterns and see results.
Recovering from traumatic or adverse experiences requires special care. I specialize in Art Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy to assist people in recovering from trauma symptoms. Recreating the trauma narrative using verbal and nonverbal forms of communication integrates adverse experiences in new ways to make them less vivid and to reduce the emotion associated with the experience. Here to listen and support you, I look forward to helping you make changes to be a happier, healthier you.
