Welcome to the Story

Art therapy works for all sorts of people who are ultimately looking to be seen, heard, and  understood just as they are.

Art therapy is for people who have found that things like anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges are keeping them from their full potential.

Art therapy is an opportunity to visually share your experience where words fall short & heal your psychological ailments. Artistic training or 'talent' not required. The image creation experience is rooted in wellness to work toward wholeness. It works on mind & body based levels. It breaks down barriers to treatment & empowers you to be authentic. Drawing doesn’t just inspire creativity, it also helps develop communication, increase learning & memory, & make sense of experiences.

 Therapy begins with the perspective that you are a sacred person & you have every capacity to grow. With couples I utilize The Gottman Method & Couples Communication program to support couples learn to identify emotional triggers & foster unity in relationships. To heal parent/child relationships I am trained in The Circle of Security, The Nurtured Heart, & No Drama Discipline. I utilize interventions from humanistic, SFBT, IPNB, CBT, & DBT, & positive psychology modes of therapy. Additionally I support your spiritual practise as an integral aspect of wellness. In addition to art therapy I support clients through ecotherapy interventions, polyvagal somatic experiencing, as well as other expressive arts such as movement & writing.
