I use art therapy as a service to help individuals access and express feelings too complex and/or difficult to verbally discuss. It can be utilized as a primary treatment or as an adjunct to enhance verbal psychotherapy. All ages can benefit from this and no experience in art is required.
I provide case consultation/clinical supervision services for mental health professionals that are fully licensed or are seeking licensure.
What I Bring:
~Over 20 years post-graduate experience doing talk & art therapy in multiple treatment settings with diverse children, teens, adults, couples, groups, & families. Started private practice in 2009 & founded my own practice in 2010. Prior to that I worked in community mental health and crisis work for about 6 years.
~A creative, curious, anti-oppressive, and antiracist lens that thinks outside the box and pulls from many different treatment modalities.
~A knowledge of alternative treatments for mental health & a knowledge of Integrative/ Functional Medicine & how that impacts mental health.
~A sense of humor, sensitivity, & care.
​
I help clinicians with the following issues:
~Navigating the mental health field as a therapist, whether new to field or not.

~Clinical brainstorming around helping clients with mood, relational concerns, trauma, chronic illness, neurodivergence, etc.
