Are you looking for creative ways to heal and grow in your sense of self? Is finding a more authentic sense of identity in community with others something you're seeking? I use art therapy as a main point of working with LGBTQIA+ teens, young adults, and adults in my practice to increase competence in being able to connect and sit with emotions, communicate with others and understand the multiple parts of who we are when living and engaging with the world around us. As an art therapist, I focus on using a range of art materials and movement to invite expression and emotional release. Often, artmaking can tap into alternative ways of releasing the emotional weight we carry in our physical selves. In our sessions, we will explore what works with your most authentic way of self expression in order to work towards your goals!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session we will explore holistically the areas that are contributing to distress and challenge in your life. We will explore goals you hold for yourself and identify specific areas you feel I can support with.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Working as an art therapist supporting LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults who are seeking to develop deeper connection with themselves and community is a passion of mine. I focus on using elements of play and creativity to tap into alternative ways of sitting with and processing emotions, whether it be using creative materials, table top role playing, gaming, and other forms of play.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Eclectic
I use art therapy as a main point of working with folks in my practice to increase competence in being able to connect and sit with emotions, communicate with others and understand the multiple parts of who we are when living and engaging with the world around us. Engaging in a more creative, visual, playful, and expressive space allows me to connect with my clients on a different level that we often do not access when attempting to navigate emotions. Working as an art therapist for over 6 years, my use of image making and creation invites clients to be in connection to their bodies and emotions in a more intuitive way by sitting in discomfort in order to learn about what emotions communicate about our lived experiences.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My education and training focused on an eclectic person-centered view, in that I believe all clients are seeking to be understood and relate to others in their lives. I engage in reflective listening and validation, while creating an environment that allows us to challenge aspects of self that may feel stuck or avoided. My work focuses on both the here and now moments as a place of learning about who we are and how we want to be moving forward.
