Do you feel stuck or like you don’t know what you’re “doing” with your life? Do you feel like you’re the only who feels that way? You aren’t. (Some people just hide it better than others.) The best way to deal with our problems isn’t by pushing them aside (believe me, I’ve tried), but by facing them. This isn’t an easy task, but everyone has their own innate strengths (yes, even you). Learning to identify and harness those strengths can be so powerful. Existing in the world is the easy part, anyone breathing is already doing that. But actually living life, now that’s something else.

As a therapist, I use the creative process and a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach rooted in person-centered therapy. My main beliefs center around seeing, supporting, and valuing you as the unique person you are. I provide a safe space for clients to process their emotions and create positive change within themselves based on their own personal values and needs. “If the problem didn’t exist, what would your life look like?” If that question gets you thinking and you want to explore what that means for you, then we might be a good fit. While I am open to working with all ages, my personal interest is working with adolescents and young adults, as that was when I was at my most vulnerable. I can’t even imagine how different my life would have been if I had someone like an art therapist to help me through those difficult times.
