Psychotherapy Provider (Registered Psychotherapist)
I am a professionally trained art therapist and registered psychotherapist, integrating CBT, DBT, play therapy, and trauma-informed practice. At its core, trauma-informed therapy is a client-led, strengths-based approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and focuses on safety, trust, and empowerment in the healing process. Sessions can be talk therapy alone, or we can explore art therapy, the choice is yours.
Art therapy helps you explore what’s causing you pain, what you want, and how to move toward it, while drawing on your own resilience and inner strengths. Research shows that creating art engages the brain’s emotional centers, stimulates the vagus nerve, promotes calm, and helps release stored emotion that words alone often cannot reach. You don’t need to be an artist—just a willingness to set aside self-judgment and explore your inner world.
