By working with me, what most people discover is how creative they truly are. They begin to feel and release pain that has been suppressed for years. They learn how to connect to themselves and be present. They also start to communicate more effectively, and expand their capacity for self-expression and regulation. This gets to be attainable because art therapy and movement bridges the gap between the mind and body. When talk therapy alone often keeps people stuck in looping stories of the mind, negative self-perceptions, or band-aid coping remedies. These creative modalities help you break free from that cycle of suffering.
While I am here to guide you through facing your trauma and other hardships of life, I believe it’s equally important to remember your joy! Engaging in creative therapy modalities helps tap you back into a sense of play that is often forgotten with age. And when life gets too serious, or you dive incredibly deep into healing without balancing it out with joy, is where many people can feel like they have lost themselves. Balancing the depth with joy is key, and both take an immense amount of courage to face. I’m proud of you for taking this step and I would be honored to guide you during this phase of your healing journey!
I earned my MA in Art Therapy with an emphasis in Counseling from Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods College. I am a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) through the Art Therapy Credentials Board and American Art Therapy Association. I am certified in Somatic Activated Healing™ which is a radical wellness practice that combines the healing modalities of meditation, mantra, movement, and breath. I am also passionate about dream documentation! I’ve been in cycles of documenting my dreams since 2018 (which is when I had my first spiritual awakening) and creating art with them to gain a deeper relationship with the unconscious mind.
My approach is integrative and client-centered. Through that approach, as you may have already been able to tell, I combine western psychology, eastern practices, and holistic modalities to support sustainable healing rooted in self-love. Whether you feel drawn to art, movement, dreamwork, or simply needing space to talk, we’ll co-create a healing process that meets you exactly where you are. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to schedule yourself a free consultation call!
