Patience, Commitment, Growth
As a board-certified art psychotherapist, the most rewarding part of my work is the happiness clients feel from the progress they've made. Sometimes our traumas are difficult to verbalize or we may not understand why we behave a certain way. Art therapy provides a form of expression through images, allowing us to tell our story in a way that feels safe.
Through the combination of art therapy, verbal psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a mind-body approach is incorporated, enabling clients with the practical skills needed to mitigate life's stressors.
Providing an environment where clients can feel listened to and understood has been the foundation of my practice. The work will be challenging and everyone is unique, but with patience and commitment, growth is possible.
