Art Therapist in Connecticut

About My Clients

For some people, making the initial decision to enter into therapy for yourself or your child is a stressful process. I am here to ease that decision from the comfort from your home to make this first call. Through the use of tele-therapy I can offer sessions from any location you are in, and I provide a non-judgmental and supportive space. My passion is working with adolescents and their parents through individual, parent, and/or family therapy sessions.

My Background and Approach

Incorporating art therapy into my sessions can be a tool both children and adults can benefit from for the development of coping skills as well as to express oneself when words cannot. Art therapy can be used during talk therapy or alone to deepen the therapeutic work. I am certified in Connecticut in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a core belief in family systems work, in that I value the role that all family members as well as outside supports (school, religious organizations, peer groups, etc.) have on one’s individual functioning. I use exploration of these areas to promote growth, empowerment, and change for the clients’ whom I work with. I look forward to hearing from you.
