Art is a universal language that can be very healing for even those individuals experiencing the greatest depths of hopelessness.  I believe it evokes hope and serenity in those who have lost their own.

I hold a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) and a certificate in Creative Arts Therapy (A.T.) / Psychology.  I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern (MFTI). I have over 6 years of experience providing art therapy and play therapy to children, adolescents, adults, older adults and families.
