During the session I facilitate, in a safe and supportive setting, the expression of the client's internal world through the use of art materials. The image created gives us insights on the nature of the problem as well as on the resources that can be employed to start the healing process.

my therapeutic style is empathetic, empowering, and individualized in order to meet the unique needs of each person, help reduce judgements, and discover the skills that best fit personal goals. we understand that each person may benefit from a different style of therapy, ranging from DBT to Animal Assisted Therapy, and work with each client to reach the best outcome. We believe in the strength and bravery it takes for each client to enter my office and allow me to share in their story.
