Philosophy
​The process of therapy involves understanding ourselves and how we came to be who we are. It can involve exploration of identity, purpose and meaning, as well as integration of mind, body, emotions and spirit.  Therapy is an exploration of our strengths and vulnerabilities as necessary and valuable parts of ourselves, that we both cultivate and prune as we activate change.

As an art therapist, I believe in the power of creative expression as an instinctive tool that promotes self-awareness, integration, connection and lasting change.  We are all capable of creative expression and practice it on a daily basis in ways that are not limited to fine art.  It is a channel for us to communicate with our authentic self and share it with the world.

I hold the following core beliefs:
1. All people are different.
2. Creativity is innate.
3. Challenge brings growth.
4. Change is inevitable.
5. Trust overcomes fear.
6. Balance is dynamic.
7. The journey is what teaches us.
