I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist. I have extensive training and experience in using a variety of evidence based practices including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Art Therapy.
I work from a client centered, strength-based methodology to address personal life challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach, assisting clients find meaning from their struggle and create a path towards healing. I have found the benefit of integrating Art Therapy within the counseling relationship makes it possible to express what sometimes might be difficult or impossible to communicate with words.
I believe the foundation of an effective experience in therapy lies in the establishment of a trusting relationship where the client feels safe to explore their internal emotional dialogue and decide what changes they want and need to make. I consider myself the guide on your journey towards healing and the many possibilities that await in different areas of your life.
