ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I'm a dorky Weeb who loves making art and Spongebob references. I proudly held the title as "Weirdest Therapist" on the Expressive Therapies Team at my last job and hope to maintain such a legacy in my practice.
I learned about Art Therapy in high school and realized then that I wanted to help others develop the social skills and self-worth needed to establish lifelong healthy relationships with themselves and others.
EDUCATION
-
Emporia State University, Masters of Science
-
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
-
Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC)
EXPERIENCE
I worked as the Art Therapist at a Residential facility for 5 years facilitating Art Therapy and Anime Therapy groups for teens with behavioral concerns and trauma.
I noticed quickly that individuals were able to process their emotions and trauma through anime characters' experiences safely without fear of judgment and without having to explicitly discuss their personal experiences.
Using art added another layer of defense, acting as a bridge for the youth to process emotions without having to talk.
