She believes in learning and working with the intention to support inner personal growth, the development of imagination, and the integration of spiritual expansion using person-centered and intermodal expressive arts infused counseling and therapeutic creative approaches to optimize mental health and wellness/well-being.
Expressive Arts is experiential, co-creative, and a collaborative process whereby clients take agency of their own process. With a varied toolkit of verbal and expressive therapies, she meets each client where they are with patience and empathy; and walks with them as they figure out where they want to be to get there with self-awareness and personal resilience.
