Psychotherapist
As an art therapist, I am impassioned about helping clients foster self- awareness and gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by using art to access different areas of the brain than those used for speaking. I will support you to find the best course of action as we continue navigating, exploring, and understanding self. Art Therapy is an excellent means of enhancing self-expression, transposing coping skills, and understanding stress management techniques by adapting alternative choices. The work that we will embark upon will focus on targeting and relearning ineffective behaviors, habits, and belief systems.
I invite you on the journey of a lifetime to peel away the layers of who you are and where you come from, as you embark on a personal voyage of self- discovery.
My recent work has allowed me to routinely work with individuals and families to resolve trauma, grief, and loss, establish appropriate decision-making skills and address depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I meet the client where they are not where someone else wants them to be.
My educational background includes an associate degree in Drug & Alcohol Counseling an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Art Therapy with a Specialization in Counseling. I am also a Peer- Health Educator and a Narcan Trainer.
