Traumatic experiences are largely stored in the non-verbal parts of the brain. Engaging in creative Art Therapy allows individuals to express emotions visually and through sensory experiences, facilitating deeper understanding. By engaging in creative art-based practices, increased neuroplasticity and symbolic meaning-making can emphasize and support self-growth.

I have training and experience in working with CBT, I-CBT, OCD-specific psychoeducation and treatment, art-based, mindfulness-based, and somatic-informed treatment approaches with generalized anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I believe that an individualized and integrative approach is necessary to gain insight, understanding, and resourcing around the experience of navigating anxiety.

Through use of art-making, creative conversation, and an understanding of sociological and developmental frameworks, I aim to provide informed and supportive care to adolescents and adults exploring their gender identity.
