Welcome! Are you looking for Art Therapy, Psychotherapy, Continuing Education or Groups?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Art Therapist with 18 years of experience.  I work with teens and adults who need a method of therapy that allows them to work through trauma and other painful experiences non-verbally.  Because trauma and pain are stored in the brain without words,  I find that art therapy allows my clients to work with these vulnerable feelings while allowing a safe distance to understand and transform them.  I also provide wonderful educational opportunities for therapists to learn how to use art safely and effectively in their work. 

Do you: Do you:

 Have a hard time talking about feelings or traumatic experiences?

Feel flooded or out of control with anxiety, grief or depression?

Feel stuck or hopeless?

Don’t like therapy that requires you to sit and talk for 50 minutes?

Wish you could express yourself, but just can’t find the words that fit?

Have a teen who refuses to talk to you about their problems?

If so, I might be the right therapist for you.

I am passionate about the creative process, and want to help you learn to use your own creative expression to find hope and healing through art. You will find that my office is also an art studio where the invitation to create is implicit.  Because of my belief that creative expression heals, I do not judge or interpret your finished product.  Instead, I use my open enthusiasm and curiosity to help you create, express, change, grow and heal.

To schedule an appointment call (916) 276-0455 or email me at trustart@sbcglobal.net.  My studio is located in Fair Oaks Village near Sacramento, California

Be Well,
