With degrees in Art Therapy & Clinical Counseling it allows me the flexibility to combine conventional techniques with alternative approaches. The use of art therapy can be a unique way for young people to open up and process areas of strong emotional content, while allowing an opportunity for self-expression. Children and teens often struggle with verbal expression especially when it involves discussing difficult topics and feelings. My style consists of a variety of hands on activities to foster communication, trust, honesty and problem solving skills, which ultimately aid in increasing insight and judgment.
