Hello,

I still remember what I was doing when I first discovered art therapy: I was sitting in art class my junior year of high school. I was flipping absently through our textbook, which we rarely used, when I happened upon an interview with an art therapist on one of the pages. It caught my attention because I'd never heard of this job before, and I was curious. I began reading more about the field, learning about the work, and researching education opportunities. In that moment, I knew art therapy was the thing to which I was meant to dedicate my life.

In the years since that day, my art therapy journey has included many stops along the road that ultimately led me to Alexandria Art Therapy. I love the unique opportunity to explore life’s challenges and create meaning through art. I believe that understanding your emotions and finding connections to the world around you are some of the most valuable experiences we can have.

I work with fellow clinicians because I understand the value of the therapeutic process. As mental health providers, we are our healthiest when we do the work for ourselves because working with people brings up our own emotional experiences. I enjoy working with clinicians across the span of their career for individual therapy work and clinical supervision.
