My Background and Approach
My theoretical orientation is eclectic but is deeply rooted in humanistic theories, especially person-centered and gestalt philosophies. I take a holistic approach in understanding your lived experiences as well as the social, political, and cultural contexts that impact your life. I also employ narrative therapy techniques to empower individuals to tell their life story in their own words. Your story and your voice are powerful tools we can explore together. My goal is to support clients on their path towards living authentic and fulfilling lives. My professional journey began in Minneapolis where I used the art of storytelling to empower immigrant and refugee populations through the lens of social justice. A year of teaching motivated me to pursue a career in art therapy where I can combine emotional support with the expressive arts. I joined AWC after graduating from Seton Hill University with an MA in Art Therapy with a Specialization in Counseling.
