Clinical Mental Health Counseling & Art Therapy

As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, I provide a safe place for adults, young adults, children and families to talk and work through their life circumstances.

I employ a combination of Art Therapy and methods from the Internal Family Systems model to address my client's needs.

Art Therapy is a modality that helps clients express themselves, that doesn't have to be talking! Some examples are using drawing, collaging, painting, sculpting, book-making, journaling, building, or beading. You do not have to be an artist to do art therapy. Most of the time, it is more about the process, rather than the outcome.

Internal Family Systems, or IFS, is a model which believes we all have different parts of our personality. We have protector parts, hurt like child parts, and what's called the core Self. Over the past year, I have explored using IFS and seen its positive and life changing effects on clients. Using Art Therapy and IFS combined, I am able to help clients have more clarity, get space from some uncomfortable feelings, help heal from traumas and burdens they've been carrying, and much more.
