Great to meet you!

I am a nationally board-certified art therapist and adjunct lecturer with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, seniors, families, and groups. I have a master’s degree in Education from Lesley University in Massachusetts and a second master’s degree in Art Therapy from Pratt Institute in New York.

My approach to therapy

I have practiced art therapy in hospitals including New York Presbyterian, residential programs for adolescents, eating disorder treatment centers, schools, autism centers, the College of William & Mary, and in private practice.

What you can expect from me

I have helped clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, eating disorders, trauma, grief, developmental and sensory issues, as well as autism spectrum disorders. I also serve on the Art Therapy Credentials Board Nominating Committee. I recently published a book through Routledge "Art Therapy Directives: An Intervention Toolbox."
