My Approach

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),  Jungian and Humanistic approaches to support insight, emotional healing, and meaningful change. I help clients explore patterns of thought and behavior, develop psychological flexibility, and connect with deeper values and inner wisdom. I may also incorporate Art Therapy into sessions to faciliate creative expression and reflective dialogue. My goal is to design therapy as a collaborative and compassionate process that honors each person’s lived experience, strengths, and capacity for growth.

Art Therapy

Art therapy is a discipline that incorporates creative methods of expression through visual art media. Art therapy encourages creative expression through a variety of ways such as painting, drawing, or collaging. Art therapy can be used to help people improve cognitive and sensory motor function, self-esteem, self-awareness, and emotional resilience where verbal expression may be more difficult. It may also aide in resolving conflicts and reducing distress.

During sessions, a trained art therapist will give their client a prompt during session related to the goals of therapy. Then a portion of the session is spent exploring the art work and what it means for the client. This process can help a client gain a deeper understanding and awareness into their emotions as well as reduce stress during the art making process.

Art therapists typically have a master's degree in an integrated program in psychotherapy and visual arts. Art experience is not required and art therapy may be applied to individuals of all ages.
