My Background and Approach

I offer a warm, creative, and gentle environment where you can uncover your true nature and make choices that will relieve suffering and build health and connection. Whether you are experiencing grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, or disordered eating, the core of my practice lies in building a supportive relationship where healing can take root. Together we will draw on deep listening, somatic awareness, transformational art processes, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy to help connect with your inner knowing.

My Approach to Helping

Art therapy is a method of embodied healing. Research on trauma shows that the body, not just the mind, holds onto our experiences. The body knows the truth. Similarly, art shows us the truth. Through creative play, we externalize the invisible patterns of our inner landscape. As we do this, we reclaim the ability to listen to physical impulses and trust our intuition. Healing happens when the unspoken stories held in the body meet the intuitive, symbolic language of images. In art therapy, we learn how to speak this language. Through a combination of talk therapy, art making, and writing, we will listen for your inner images and approach them with curiosity. No previous art experience is necessary. We will always move at your pace and meet exactly where you are.
