Children, teens and young adults particularly benefit from psychotherapy using art processes. I have an excellent rapport and easy style of communicating with each child. I come from a strength-based perspective in my work with them and their families. I have a BA in Art Education, K-12, and lifelong experience in alternative education. My experience also includes working with children attending public, private and home schools.

My years of counseling people with disabilities, including developmental and physical disabilities, in a variety of settings and professional capacities has, helped me to understand more about the many ways individuals can react/respond to their environments. I am comfortable using alternative means of communication. I have had professional training and experience in managing resources for people with developmental disabilities, thus gaining a deeper understanding of community inclusion, advocacy, and person centered planning from another perspective.
