Be messy, and complicated, and afraid and show up anyways.- Glennon Doyle
I have worked in mental health since 2010 and hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Art Therapy.
My clinical work focuses on supporting children, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, social and behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I also have experience working with adults around trauma, addiction, recovery, and codependency.
Art therapy offers an alternative—or complement—to traditional talk therapy by giving clients another way to express and explore what they may not yet have words for. Through creative experiences, clients can slow down, connect with their emotions, build insight, and experiment with new ways of coping and relating. No artistic experience is necessary; the focus is on the process, not the product.
