 Individual Art Therapy for Adolescents and Adults

​

When you work with me, you can expect my complete presence. My orientation is person-centered and collaborative. It is my hope that you feel fully supported and respected while in session. I value providing a laid-back, casual atmosphere, where my clients feel comfortable and relaxed in the space. 

​

I practice with a trauma-informed orientation, paying special focus to the experiences of our mind-body connection to help guide you out of the cognitive experiences and into a more holistic form of healing. I utilize trauma informed art therapy experiences and EMDR.
