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.

 

~Providing clinical feedback around working with clients using an eclectic and integrative approach drawing on relational, IFS/parts work, ACT, DBT, Polyvagal, expressive arts, somatic and nervous system/trauma-competent therapies.

 

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

 

~Transitioning from an agency or group to solo practice.
