Hello, I am a Clinical Art Therapist at Family Services of Warren County.  As a master’s-level clinician, I provide art therapy services as an alternative therapeutic approach.  Art therapy helps address mental health challenges using specific art-making interventions.  The American Art Therapy Association (AATA) defines art therapy as “a mental health profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience with psychotherapeutic relationship.”

My educational background includes earning a BFA in studio art, a MEd in Art Education, and a MA in Counseling/Art Therapy.  I am credentialed as a Provisionally Registered Art Therapist (ATR-P) by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB) and I am a member of the American Art Therapy Association (AATA).
