Sometimes there are thoughts, memories and moods that are causing us distress. Often, when we try to express these to others, we are left feeling more confused about what we are feeling or misunderstood afterward. Sometimes words fail us and we cannot find the right way to express ourselves and then we find ourselves repeating the same cycles. I have found in my work that when words fail, art can help us bridge that language dead-end. I am a registered Art Therapist; I believe that art is innately human and can provide a safe space to initiate growth and change in individuals.

I provide trauma processing through Art Therapy & EMDR. There are no “supposed to”; only your process and I will meet you where you are. I am also a Virginia LPC and LMFT Supervisor.

No one should have to face what they’re going through alone. I am here to support you on your journey. I am sure I will learn just as much as from you as you will from me along the way.
