Art Therapy

I have a masters degree in Art Therapy and Marriage Family Therapy. I am currently a board certified art therapist with the American Art Therapy Credentialing Board. I taught for over a decade at Notre Dame De Namur university in Art Therapy . I am currently the president of the South Texas Art Therapy Association.

We specialize in clay art therapy but can incorporate other art therapies as well. Within the realm of art therapy, clay has been seen to awaken creativity, foster socialization, reduce negative mood and anxiety, and aid in healing from trauma. We partner with Chris, our life coach/therapy assistant who is also a professional ceramics artist. We incorporate the pottery wheel and hand-building exercises. No judgment here, just a space for you to be you.

I am a licensed and board certified art psychotherapist. My training allows me the ability to conduct talk psychotherapy, but also allows for art therapy additions as well. Even remotely, art making can be part of our session. Some people identify art making in session as soothing, and enjoy sharing their work at the end of session. Some people enjoy working after session with a specific art intervention, to help continue processing. Art making can be a great addition to our work.

Art therapy allows you to access parts of yourself in a creative way, unlocking insights through visual expression. Using modalities like drawing, painting, collaging, sculpture, and sand tray, you can give form to complex emotions, unconscious material, past experiences, relationships, dreams, spiritual aspects of self - bringing them to light through the art process. As your therapist, I help you interpret the themes, symbols and metaphors that emerge, deepening self-understanding.

I have completed my Master's degree in Art Therapy from Wayne State University and am near completion of the requirements to be an ATR- Art Therapist Registered.

I have specialized training in art therapy - having used this modality with adults, teenagers, and children.

I am a trained and registered art therapist (ATR). Art therapy provides a language for insight, growth and transformation when words fail. Even if art therapy isn’t your thing (I get it!) my training and background as a visual artist makes me sensitive specific challenges faced by creative folks. I understand and treat creative blocks and teach strategies like creative hygiene and separating process and product experiences. I also use image-based tools such as metaphor and dream analysis.

Sometimes words aren't enough to convey what you want to say. I've found art therapy to be helpful in allowing clients to express themselves in more authentic ways. Through drawing, sculpting, even playing games (such as Dungeons & Dragons) we can dive deeper past what is just said.

Art therapy invites you to express yourself through colors, shapes, and forms. It's a journey of self-discovery and growth, where you're supported every step of the way. Whether you're facing life's challenges or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, art therapy offers a different compassionate space to explore, create, and heal.

I hold a masters degree in Art therapy. I find it helpful when working with clients who struggle with trauma symptoms as another form of dialog. Art therapy can be a tool to help clients interpret, express and resolve their emotions and thoughts. It integrates psychotherapeutic techniques with the creative process to improve well-being.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a quick and effective way to create lasting change. ART does not require you to talk about your painful past in order to heal from it. You, the Client, are in control of what is happening in session. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is an innovated approach building off of EMDR and combining a multitude of traditional psychotherapeutic techniques utilized in... Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gestalt, Brief Psychodynamic, Exposure, and CBT.

Art Therapy offers a unique avenue to explore and address issues that are sometimes too difficult to verbally articulate. In sessions, we will use art making as a way to explore and view challenges or issues that are impacting you. You don't need to be "artistic" or even have experience with art, to gain healing benefits of art therapy. I will guide you by providing a specific theme or a particular material, that will help us work towards your goals.

Art therapy is a wonderful therapy to help reintegrate the nervous system after a trauma and process preverbal events. It is great for self- exploration and reconnecting with the self.

I was trained as an art therapist at Loyola Marymount University, one of the first and most leading schools for art therapy in the US. I participate in research to build the field of art therapy, and I deeply believe in the healing power of art. Both at LMU and as an art historian, I studied the mechanisms by which humans make meaning with visual works, and I discovered that the connection between our lived experiences and the art we enjoy is an integral part of human evolution and health.

I generally follows a client-centered orientation, emphasizing the individual strengths & resources of each of my clients.

I am a Registered Art Therapist with a Masters degree in art therapy from George Washington University. I have extensive experience as a trauma-focused art therapist and have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, many of whom identify as trauma survivors. I believe that art is innately human and provides a safe space for individuals to initiate growth and change.
