Art Therapy

I can't say enough about how grateful I am to have this tool for myself and my clients! Art Therapy is like a very humble, quiet (aka nonverbal), magical, powerful goddess that supports us in reclaiming our inner strengths and having the autonomy to heal at our own pace and depth without feeling confrontational or judgmental. If you want to know more or experience this magic, come and join my art therapy session!

We specialize in clay art therapy but can incorporate other art therapies as well. Within the realm of art therapy, clay has been seen to awaken creativity, foster socialization, reduce negative mood and anxiety, and aid in healing from trauma. We partner with Chris, our life coach/therapy assistant who is also a professional ceramics artist. We incorporate the pottery wheel and hand-building exercises. No judgment here, just a space for you to be you.

I have a master's degree in art therapy from New York University.

I am a Registered Art Therapist with a Masters degree in art therapy from George Washington University. I have extensive experience as a trauma-focused art therapist and have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, many of whom identify as trauma survivors. I believe that art is innately human and provides a safe space for individuals to initiate growth and change.

Art Therapy offers a unique pathway for clients to express emotions and experiences that may be hard to verbalize. By tapping into creativity, clients can explore and process feelings in a non-judgmental and expressive way. This approach not only facilitates self-discovery and insight but also helps foster healing through the creative process, making it a powerful tool for transformation and growth.

Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATCB No. 16-264) Training in EDPP (El Duende Process Painting)

I generally follows a client-centered orientation, emphasizing the individual strengths & resources of each of my clients.

I'm a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) through the nationally recognized Art Therapy Credentials Board. This is the highest credential you can earn as an art therapist and assures that I have met and upheld rigorous standards and ethics. To receive this credential, I passed the national exam and have a comprehensive knowledge of art therapy theories and clinical skills.

Art therapy in an integrative treatment orientation that blends art-making, psychology, and the healing relationship of therapy. As a Master’s-level art therapist, I provide art materials and the art process to youth and adults alike dealing with a wide range of challenges. One way to think about the use of art in therapy, is the fact that sometimes words fail us. It can be easier or make more sense to *show* who we are and what we are going through with art materials than it is to talk about these complex things. No ‘talent’ in making art is required —only an openness to explore and express yourself beyond verbal communication alone. My use of art therapy does not include diagnosing or interpreting the images you create; rather we look at how you relate with your art, what personal meanings you arrive at yourself, and how art making may become a self-care activity of your own.

I have specialized training in Expressive Arts Therapy. I studied EAT within my master's program and went on to access specialized supervision. Expressive Arts Therapy is utilizing art-making as part of the therapy process. It's process-oriented, which means it doesn't require "skill" or "talent," the creative experience itself is the therapy.

Who knew hearing or saying simply “I Got U” carried so much positive affirmation!? Such a statement has helped me overcome many personal and professional obstacles during my lifetime. I even currently say those words to myself as a form of positive self-talk from time to time. With more than 15 years of working in Behavioral Health, I created “I Got U” as a safe space to remind whomever that: I see them, I hear them, and what they say does matter.

Art is a medium that allows us to express ourselves and more abstract thoughts without the need of words. It's something that I like to integrate into my in-person sessions whenever possible to allow clients the freedom to explore complex thoughts and emotions non-judgementally.

I have dual master's degree from Loyola Marymount University in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy. This means I don't just do art with clients. I trained for 2 years to be an art therapist and have theoretical knowledge on how to use art in therapy to grow and heal. I have run groups, used art therapy with adults and children. In our consult we can talk more about art therapy to decide if its right for you. I don't do art therapy with everyone, but for some its very healing.

I hold a master’s degree in art therapy and counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As an interdisciplinary artist and mental health worker, I firmly believe in the healing power of creative practice and the self-awareness fostered through art-making. Art enables us to express ourselves beyond words, using diverse media to explore emotions, memories, and sensations in a therapeutically meaningful and accessible way.

Art therapy is the approach in which I have the most training and experience. Art therapy is a way of delivering and processing therapy within the context of creation. I studied at the Drexel Graduate Art Therapy program, and have received my Board Certification.
