About

The creative process holds the ability to provide a connection with one’s environment, a moment in time, others, and ourselves. Through the use of art and psychotherapy the journey of creative self-discovery can help us to go beyond words. This allows us to explore emotions and experiences, gain insight, work through challenges, and feel empowered. Combining both a humanistic and client-centered approach we can build a safe space that emphasizes a capacity for self-actualization and growth. Building upon the collaborative therapeutic relationship we will adopt skills to express, cope, and promote self-awareness. Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to work in various hospital settings and with many populations; from adults with addiction to adolescents and children with mental health, behavioral and medical issues. I have been able to witness and learn the true meaning of resiliency. Every individual has the ability for change and deserves happiness. It takes courage and strength to reach out for help. As a client and now practitioner, it is my mission to make sure that each individual I work with feels safe and accepted from the very first introduction. As a therapist, it is my privilege to be a part of someone’s healing process while being witness to change and internal growth.
