I believe that we never lose our creative spark, and that with the right tools, it can be accessed and implemented as a healing force. With creative expression, we can imagine real life scenarios through multiple lenses, and look into the past and the future through different perspectives. No matter your age, art-making can be used to make sense of our emotional landscape, foster self-compassion and organize our thoughts, which can get jumbled in the hustle and bustle of life. I utilize an integrative approach that marries both Art Therapy and traditional psychotherapy. No experience using art materials is needed! I received my Masters degree from Pratt Institute, and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatrics in a private practice and hospital setting, including Yale Newhaven Pediatric Hospital. Through creative expression and psychoanalytic psychotherapy my clients have experienced increased hope for the future, a more positive mindset, decreased anxiety and stress, identity affirmation, behavior regulation and improved self-esteem. I provide a person-centered approach based on my client’s personal needs, past experiences, beliefs, and goals. I believe in treatment based on a holistic and intuitive framework, and offer a safe space for my clients to introspect and express themselves without fear of judgement. I look forward to embarking on the journey of self-exploration with you.
