Welcome! I am a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a focus in working with individuals in art therapy with grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. Hope Forest was created to be a place of comfort and creativity for self-expression and self-exploration of life's journey. Creativity, in any form, can be there to help us look deeper into our feelings in a tangible way. Together we can make art, be creative, or just talk. I have experience working with a children and families in a grief organization as the Program Director, in a hospice organization as a Bereavement Counselor and Children's Grief Coordinator, and a children's behavioral health hospital as an Art Therapist. With my specialty in grief and loss, it felt appropriate to honor my grief in this space; Hope Forest is named in honor of my mom who died in 2013.
