Welcome

As a youth and family art therapist, I am here to help young adults, teens, and preteens learn to harness their strengths and turn them into creative coping skills they can use every day to maintain emotional balance during these exceptionally stressful times.

I am experienced in the full range of challenges facing Gen Z, but I have particular expertise and passion for helping clients with:

• Depression / Anxiety / Bi-Polar Disorder
• Suicidal Thoughts and Self Harm
• Major Life transitions, adjustments, and stressors 
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 
• Gender Affirming Care
• Chronic Illness / Pain, Disability, New Medical Diagnoses

My focus in these areas has been informed by the specialized experience I gained working as the inpatient art therapist at Seattle Children's Hospital during the pandemic. However, I am excited to be back in private practice. Here I can help you learn to apply the effective art therapy techniques I was using in the hospital to your daily life. 

In addition to my youth therapy services, I also offer:

•  Parent Coaching: for mental health safety at home. 
•  Clinical Supervision: for master's level interns and associates in Washington State. 

You don't have to be an artist or have art experience to work with me. Instead, the heart of the work we do together will be fostering a supportive space for creative expression and problem solving. This can happen through any interests you wish to share with me and I look forward to connecting with you!
