As a Board Certified Art Therapist I utilize a holistic, mindfulness based, client-centered approach to work with children, adolescents, and adults to heal through creative exploration. I work with those who have experienced overwhelm to restore nervous system regulation, organize preverbal/nonverbal aspects of development, move through and befriend emotions, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and connect with social supports to move toward a renewed sense of empowerment and hope. 

I specialize in early-childhood mental health (birth-8yrs) as well as perinatal/postpartum mental health. I work in partnership with caregivers and young children to focus on integrating and healing early trauma, attachment disruptions, and build secure relationships between caregiver and child. My treatment is aimed at partnering with individuals and families to heal generational trauma, expand self-compassion, and uncover a wise connection to their sense of self with curiosity, acceptance, and humility. I value the inherent wisdom in each of us and believe that art and play are the natural languages of healing.

While early childhood mental health and perinatal/postpartum mental health are two of my credentialed areas of specialty, I work with people of all ages. This foundation has given me a deeper understanding into how early relational experiences and developmental needs shape emotion regulation, attachment, and resilience across the lifespan. 

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served on the Board of the Colorado Association for Play Therapy and work as adjunct faculty within the graduate art therapy program at Naropa University teaching child and adolescent art therapy.
