ABOUT MY PRACTICE

My practice focuses on how creative expression taps into healing. Art therapy is similar to talk therapy, however the difference lies in that engaging in more visual and somatic ways of expression can lead to deeper communication, identification and processing of feelings.

​

My previous work in spaces such as inpatient and IOP settings for adults, community after care program, in-home family wraparound service and outpatient community based practice has informed the way I approach individual work. 

While working in these settings, my experiences led me to focus on the ways in which systemic systems and trauma impacts how we regulate and relationally engage with others when overwhelmed.

​

I have experience working with children, teens, families, and adults from a wide range of mental health and cultural backgrounds. I have also led several arts and games based groups around needs of developing social connection, self esteem, and health communication.

​

I currently focus on supporting teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self esteem, queer gender identity and sexual orientation.
