Trust the process.  These words were spoken repeatedly during my first residency at grad school.  They continued to be emphasized throughout my courses, internship, research study, and thesis writing.  “Trust the process” became a mantra that has been incorporated into my everyday life.  It would be my privilege to accompany you on your therapeutic journey, guiding you, holding a safe space where together, we can trust the process.

In the fall of 2018, I became the first ever recipient of the American Art Therapy Association’s Irene Rosner David Medical Art Therapy Scholarship.  I graduated the following spring from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College with a master’s degree in Art Therapy with a Counseling emphasis.  I specialize in medical art therapy, assisting those (self, loved one, or caregivers) impacted by such things as cancer or chronic illness, and the grief, loss, depression, and anxiety that can accompany a life-changing medical diagnosis.  

I believe in a positive, client-centered approach to therapy, finding tools and techniques that are suited to you as an individual.  Through art and/or talk therapy, I will foster the healing process by providing a safe, judgement-free space for you to explore, express, and grow.

“Trusting the process is based on a belief that something valuable will emerge when we step into the unknown.” ~ Shaun McNiff, Ph.D., ATR
