Professional Counseling and Art Therapy

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (2000), and Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (2006/1992).  I have been honored to work with many individuals and small groups over the years providing therapy, counseling and art therapy for adults, children and teens.  
Currently, I offer individual sessions for adults 18 and older in private practice.

               I currently accept BC/BS Anthem of Colorado, Cigna (Colorado), Sondermind, and Self-Pay.

Experience professional counseling that is compassionate, understanding and insightful.

My goal for each individual is to alleviate pain and restrictions, change patterns and move the self toward wholeness. 

I hold a Master’s degree from Lesley College in Expressive Arts Therapy with concentration in Art Therapy. There I had the good fortune of working with Dr. Shaun McNiff, Dr. Thomas Moore, Paolo Knill, and Dr. Suzanne Canner-Hume. Following my graduate work, I began a working, supervisory relationship with Dr. Myra Levick, PhD, ATR-BC. Under Dr. Levick’s supervision and guidance, I developed a passion for Art Therapy Assessment, in particular, Dr. Levick’s The Levick Emotional and Cognitive Art Therapy Assessment. I became a practitioner and teacher of The LECATA, and similarly, the Silver Draw-A-Story Art Therapy Assessment developed by Dr. Rawley Silver, with whom I dialogued about her assessment and it’s applications and findings. 

Since 2005, I have been providing clinical supervision to art therapists and professional counselors working toward licensing, registration and certification, and those interested in continued professional development.

 I am fortunate to love the work I do. Please let me know how I might be of support to you in your process either personally or professionally.  

Professional Focus

I have many years of experience and successfully work with people healing from grief and loss, healing unresolved childhood trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, poor self-esteem, illness or injury, emotional challenges, difficulty identifying and expressing feelings, highly sensitive, gifted and talented and those on the autism spectrum.  I have assisted those in recovery address unresolved inner conflict so that they might live more freely in sobriety as well as those with schizophrenia. I work with the LGBTQ community.
