Hi! I am so glad you're here. I am a registered Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor (ATR-BC, LPC). I have experience providing art therapy and counseling services in school, home, office, corporate settings with families, children, adolescents, adults and geriatric individuals. As an individual I am joyful, colorful, and compassionate, emphasizing the importance of love, curiosity, connection and discovery. As a Certified Grief Informed Professional (evergreen certification) and Grief and Trauma therapist (Wendt Center for Loss and Healing Training Institute) I have dedicated the next chapter in my work as a therapist to provide you an opportunity to receive support, catharsis and insight.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

As a licensed counselor and Registered Board Certified Art Therapist I offer personalized sessions that tailor to meet your unique needs and goals. Establishing and maintaining emotional safety is important to me. It's important that we move at a pace that is comfortable for you. It's important that you feel empowered and in control of when and how to approach difficult and sensitive material.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I created Ginkgo Art Therapy LLC because I believe you can shift on your own and that you have the innate capacity to heal. At the same time, I offer guidance and structure in your healing process so you feel empowered and not alone. I focus on improving your quality of life, while deepening your inner experiences and awareness.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

Working with clients to understand their feelings, thoughts and actions. CBT is an effective way to help you utilize tools to work through issues in your everyday life. I've seen clients better manage situations and improve their overall well-being and relationships.

Grief Therapy

I am a certified grief informed professional (CGP) from Evergreen Certifications. I am also a Certified Grief Counselor from the AIHCP (American Institute of healthcare professionals). I also completed a 6 month program with the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing Training Institute to become a Grief and Trauma Therapist. Grief therapy varies from client to client. Sharing your grief story admits your bereavement can provide you an opportunity to receive support and catharsis. It allows you to release the weight of your grief and recognize you are not alone.

Trauma Informed Care

I believe in a holistic practice and I bring a complete integration of approaches including self expression through movement and art making (if you would like) into talk therapy. I have been trained in multiple evidenced based approaches that connect the. mind and body, including Art Therapy, IFS and somatic therapy.
