Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

I have a deep abiding belief that everyone has the ability to heal, grow stronger and create the life they want. Many people are unaware of the strengths they have and I enjoy helping them find those strengths. I am a sensitive, intuitive and highly empathic therapist, which results in clients feeling safe with me in a relatively short amount of time. I am also a Creative Art Therapist and have used art therapy with different age groups and both genders for many years. Using art introduces an element of mature play in the therapeutic relationship that enhances trust and growth. Clients often surprise themselves with the discoveries they make using art therapy. Any interpretations are made with the client. Because the brain is not fully developed until a person is in their early to mid 20's, adolescents and children are able to communicate more easily using art therapy. Recent research has proven that being creative increases the growth of new brain cells. Art therapy is grounded in verbal therapy, and an art therapist receives a clinical psychotherapeutic education. Clients need no experience in art, simply a desire to feel better, heal and lead a happier life.
