Frequently Asked Questions:

Who do you work with?

I work with adults on a wide range of issues, including: anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, grief, infertility, addiction, relationships, midlife challenges, life transitions, creative blocks, and ADHD/neurodivergence. I also provide art therapy to children and teens, with a focus on ADHD, exploring emotions, experiences, and learning regulation skills.

​

What do you specialize in?

In addition to providing integrative creative arts therapy for general wellbeing and mental health, I specialize in trauma and ADHD, with a focus on women navigating late-identified ADHD. Many clients come to me after recently recognizing themselves in this way, working to understand how it has shaped their relationships, sense of self, and way of moving through the world, often alongside grief for lost time, rejection sensitive dysphoria, and difficulty with emotional regulation.

​

Creativity is central to how I work. Art therapy offers a way to express what’s often hard to put into words, especially for those who have spent years masking or over-explaining. Through image, color, and materials, clients externalize feelings, process memories, and gain clarity, often reaching insight faster than talk alone allows.

​

My approach is integrative, humanistic, and strengths-based, drawing on art therapy, talk therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic practices to support nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and lasting change. Every session is shaped around what you need, whether that’s more traditional talk therapy approach or engaging art making. 

​​​​

What does a session look like?

Sessions are collaborative, meeting you where you are and what you’re ready to explore. No prior art experience or skill is needed for art therapy, just an openness to the creative process.

​

What is your EMDR training? How does EMDR work alongside art therapy?

I’m EMDR trained through the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute (TICTI). EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps process traumatic or distressing experiences and reduces the emotional charge connected to difficult memories. Art-making complements this process, externalizing images, sensations, and emotions to support grounding, integration, and lasting healing.
