Art Therapy

Work with me

In the past I have worked with:

  • Children, teenagers, and young adults navigating stress, anxiety, and family or peer challenges.
  • Women at all life stages, including pre- and postnatal care, motherhood, fertility struggles, trauma, endometriosis, menopause, and aging.
  • Neurodivergent individuals, helping them unmask, embrace their strengths, and navigate a neurotypical world.
  • Trauma survivors, addressing depression, anxiety, loss of identity, and survival mode.
  • Couples and families in interracial and intercultural relationships, fostering deeper understanding and connection.

I have provided art therapy in mental health shelters, prisons, and homes for displaced people, supporting individuals through profound life transitions. My experience includes working with incarcerated youth, women overcoming trauma, and children in crisis.

about me

How We Work

Art-making

Whether painting, sculpting, sewing, tearing, cutting, or gluing; making marks in any form creates new neural pathways and taps into our unconscious thoughts and memories.

Your experience in art-making doesn’t matter—whether you’ve never considered yourself “good at art” or have years of practice. I aim to provide a safe space where you can play, explore, and
express yourself freely. I prefer to work alongside you, fostering a sense of creative community.
I’m not just an observer of your creations; I engage in the process with you. Often, my own visual responses lead me to insights beyond what words can express.
The process of art-making can be vulnerable and raw and I am here to create a safe container for you to share your feelings and expressions, and to help you find a sense of joy in your uniqueness.

How We Work

Movement and breath

Feeling stuck, dealing with physical ailments, or having a restless mind are often closely linked to our physical well-being. By gently tuning into our bodies—becoming aware of unhelpful postures and movement patterns—and making subtle adjustments, we can create meaningful shifts in both body and mind.
Our sympathetic nervous system responds to movement and breath, and we can rewire our stress responses by incorporating breathwork and conscious movement into daily life. Yoga, far
beyond physical exercise, is a holistic way of life. Rooted in ancient philosophy, it delves into human thought patterns, guiding us to act from a place of kindness and mindfulness. By recognizing obstacles like ego, aversion, fear, and attachment, yoga offers a path towards self- compassion and compassion for others.
I integrate healing-centered yoga practices into my work, acknowledging the deep connection between mind and body. This approach fosters a more balanced and harmonious sense of well- being.
