Clinical Mental Health Practice
Providing Individual Therapy & Couples Therapy for Teens and Adults
About Me
I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and organizations create meaningful change through greater self-awareness, creativity, and connection.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Board-Certified Art Therapist, and Art Therapy Credentialed Supervisor, I bring more than 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and professionals through personal and professional challenges.
Mental Health Counseling
I have a Master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in the belief that meaningful growth begins with understanding where you are, identifying where you want to go, and developing the tools to move forward.
Creativity is an important part of my work. When clinically appropriate, I incorporate art therapy techniques to help individuals express experiences, explore emotions, develop insight, and discover new perspectives. I also utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches, including traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based practices. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel understood, build confidence in your own voice, and develop strategies that align with your individual needs and goals.
Consulting & Professional Development
In addition to clinical services, I provide consulting, training, and professional development for organizations, teams, and community-based programs. My consulting work focuses on workforce development, leadership development, employee engagement, organizational culture, staff training, and best practices.
I partner with organizations to strengthen their workforce and create healthier, more effective environments for both employees and the people they serve. Areas of consultation and training may include leadership development, onboarding and staff development, trauma-informed care, communication, team dynamics, employee retention, professional boundaries, clinical quality, and creating client-centered organizational practices.
Whether I’m working with individuals in therapy or partnering with an organization to strengthen its workforce, my approach is grounded in the same philosophy: people and organizations have the capacity to grow when they are given the right tools, support, and opportunities to learn.
My Specialties
Art Therapy
Art therapy provides non-verbal, culturally adaptable modalities. It supports identity restoration, resilience, and emotion regulation. It cultivates imagination and understanding of the self.
Training & Consultation
In addition to providing therapeutic services, I also offer educational training designed to promote mental health awareness and emotional well-being. As a professional development and organizational effectiveness consultant, I enjoy helping organizations hone useful workplace skills and improve overall company culture. I conduct workshops, seminars, and outreach events for schools, workplaces, and local organizations on topics such as stress management, team building, communication skills, emotional intelligence, resilience, and other related topics.
Teens &Young Adults
Navigating the transition from adolescence to independent adulthood can be challenging. Therapy can help with identity development, career uncertainty, academic stress, relationships, family dynamics, and mental health challenges like anxiety or depression.
Motherhood
Motherhood involves a deep transformative journey that includes identity shifts in self, roles, and responsibilities. Practicing self-compassion and continuous learning, enables new mothers to adapt and thrive.
Individuals & Couples
Couples counseling is a collaborative process designed to help partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship.
Clinical Supervision
Art therapy supervision is a specialized, creative form of clinical oversight, often utilizing response art alongside verbal, evidence-based techniques to deepen case conceptualization, manage countertransference, and ensure ethical practice. I provide individual and group supervision for clinicians who have received their graduate training in Art Therapy and need the required supervision hours to obtain their art therapy licensure. Supervision focuses on developing clinical skills, ethical decision-making, and the effective integration of creative processes in therapy.
