I have experience working both individually and in group settings. I have worked with people living with chronic mental illness, chronic pain, substance use, poverty, and oppressive systems. I have experience working in a community mental health organization and also in an inpatient hospital setting.

In my work with clients, I implement psychoeducation and counseling techniques to help people better understand their goals, both short and long-term. I provide mental health tools you can use to lower stress and anxiety, and strategies to help cope with mental and physical distress. 

Consulting/coaching is separate from mental health treatment. The focus is less internal and more focused on external goals. This may include career or work goals you have for yourself. Sometimes we have a clear idea of what we want to accomplish but need some help figuring out the steps to take to reach that goal. Through consultation/coaching, I help you identify strategies to work around those blocks so you can better achieve your goals. 

I am available to give workshops and presentations about art therapy to your organization or business. 

Biofeedback involves gaining a better awareness of  and control over our physiological processes such as heart-rate and temperature - gaining control over our involuntary functions. I provided biofeedback and biofeedback with art therapy at in a hospital setting for people living with chronic pain.

My research focuses on coordination and art therapy treatment modalities, including the connection between art therapy and biofeedback  for the treatment of headaches. Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating on a research project. 

As someone in the field of mental health, I am familiar with current trends in therapist/counselor websites. If you are interested in learning more about the possibility of me designing a website for you (like this one!), please contact me to discuss your vision, collaborate on the design/logo, and to learn more about my rates/experience.
