I am an LCAT with the Find Peace Counseling practice. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I provide art therapy, play therapy, and traditional counseling modalities for individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. I work with various personal issues including bullying, self esteem, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, stress, minority issues, panic disorder, self-harm, trauma, and women’s issues.
My education background is in fine arts as well as psychology. I completed my Master’s in Clinical Art Therapy and Counseling. While in my undergraduate years, I worked in a program for children diagnosed with autism. It was there that I recognized how universal art was. Sitting with children who were primarily non-verbal, I found it incredible how the children in the program were easy to calm, to make laugh, and smile simply through a small craft or a coloring page. This is what led me down the avenue that would afford me the ability to combine my background, training, and interest of psychology — Art Therapy! I am passionate about Art Therapy because it offers expression for those who may find trouble putting words to their emotions.
