Blank Canvas Art Therapy is a collaborative space between you and I to engage and process emotions and experiences in an accessible and creative way. Art therapy is not about fancy art materials or expertise skills. It is about discovering your own way of using art or creative expression as a meaningful tool for personal insight and self-growth.

For more information about me and my therapy services, please see my website. At this time, I am only offering telehealth sessions. Reach out and connect with me today to get started on your path to inner resiliency and mental health wellness.

I am a Certified Hypnotherapist who also practices shamanic healing and soul journeying. Nurturing yet direct, I "see" beyond the material plane to uncover blockages and wounds so healing can occur quickly and naturally. I strengthen your connection to your personal sense of higher power for courage and guidance. I engage your own healing power to change unwanted behaviors, "positivize" thinking patterns, and reveal specific remedies for healing and moving forward. I have been a student of Tibetan Buddhism for 25 years and Native American shamanism for 15 years. I warmly invite you to begin the healing journey with my guidance. Hypnosis works directly with the subconscious mind, resulting in rapid change! I see clients in my home or travel to yours!

I provide Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, individuals and families. I was trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Texas Research Institute of Mental Sciences in Houston and under the supervision of Diane Martinez MD in San Antonio. I'm also an Approved Supervisor and Clinical Member in AAMFT. My primary employment is with Vail Valley Medical Center where I do mental health evaluations and substance abuse interventions. I completed my 13th season as a ski instructor at Vail in April 2011.
