“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ― Rumi Welcome to a space of acceptance, respect, and inclusivity where your journey towards healing begins. As a Board Certified/Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) trained in EMDR, I am dedicated to guiding individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and identities through their unique paths to wellness. In my practice, I prioritize creating a safe, affirming environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or discrimination. Together, we embark on a transformative journey aimed at improving your quality of life. Utilizing a strength-based, holistic approach that centers around you, I believe in the inherent potential for growth within each individual. By focusing on your strengths and abilities, we uncover the depths of your capabilities and empower you to navigate life's challenges with resilience. Art therapy serves as a powerful tool for self-expression and healing, dating back centuries in its belief that creative expression is vital for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through art making, whether it's painting, collage, or sculpting, we delve into your inner world, fostering self-awareness, reducing stress, and enhancing self-esteem. As a trauma therapist trained in EMDR, I assist clients in processing and releasing traumatic memories, paving the way for healing and a brighter future. By addressing the effects of trauma, we work towards restoring balance and enhancing coping mechanisms. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from various modalities such as Mindful-Based Art Therapy (MBAT), Narrative Sand Therapy, Bilateral Stimulation, and DBT/CBT techniques. Tailoring each session to your individual needs, I meet you where you are in your journey, empowering you to take the lead in your healing process. If you've found traditional therapy ineffective or feel stuck in your current situation, I encourage you to take a brave step towards change. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute video consultation, and let's embark on this journey together. You deserve a life worth living, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
