Talk therapy will be focused on your needs. It can empower you to regain control, make sense of your life events, enhance relationships, distinguish your feelings from others, reconnect with your authentic self, and celebrate your strengths. I create an inviting environment to provide you with the support necessary to embark on a journey of self-care and growth. I'll also help you develop tools for more balance. I use an integrative approach of mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, feminist, and multicultural orientations.
Art therapy
Therapy is an inherently creative process; art therapy takes it further by connecting your authentic self and creative instincts. You don't need artistic skills or experience to tap into your intuition and creatively express yourself. The focus is on the therapeutic benefits of creativity, not the product. Art therapy uses tools such as art materials, poetry, expressive writing, and oracle decks during sessions. It can foster a deeper mind-body connection, reduce perfectionism, enhance embodiment, and empower you to embrace your unique identity.
Supervision
I supervise professionals pursuing independent mental health licensure in Arizona. Additionally, I offer nationwide supervision for those working towards art therapy credentialing through the Art Therapy Credentials Board or expressive arts therapy credentialing through the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association. Customized arrangements can be made for those interested in obtaining supervision for both state licensure and art therapy or expressive arts therapy credentialing. I use an experiential and meaning-making approach to supervision.
Consultation
Whether you want to learn how to become an art therapist, build a private practice, navigate licensure, ethics, expressive arts therapy, or seek additional professional support, I can hold space for you. Peer consultation encourages community, creativity, self-exploration, and insight. I believe in an abundance mindset and how sharing my knowledge based on my professional experiences can uplift other mental health professionals. I can help therapists see more greatness in their possibilities, choices, and resources.
