Through creativity you can deeply explore your thoughts and emotions and experience lasting growth. As an art therapist and humanistic counselor, I value your intuitive creativity for its power to help you become more aware, whole, and connected. As part of an accepting and collaborative relationship, I provide art materials and creative guidance to support your work in expressing, clarifying, and developing your thoughts and emotions. I find that art therapy is a powerful and positive experience for clients of all experience levels--from those well-versed in art making techniques to those with no prior artistic experience. In addition to helping you safely exploring your creativity, I also use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help you understand and alter unhelpful behaviors or unsatisfying ways of viewing yourself and experiencing the world. I regularly incorporate mindfulness training to promote resilience and reduce the burden of negative emotions. I work frequently with young adult women who are examining and aligning their personal, relational, and professional identities. I believe that this exploration uncovers personal meaning and builds strength by flexibly defining a nuanced and cohesive sense of self that remains grounded even when facing adversity or managing life changes.
