I love supporting new art therapists in their growth as clinicians. Art Therapy Supervision is available for new professionals working towards their art therapy credentials (ATR or ATR-P) and navigating the often confusing path of licensure. I also support other licensed professionals who are interested in ethically integrating art materials into their clinical practices, as well as prospective students who are interested in starting their journey to becoming an art therapist.
Over the past two decades, I have supported individuals and groups with connecting to their creativity and healing from various mental health conditions, using a combination of counseling and art therapy techniques. I am also deeply protective of my own creative practices; they’re essential for me to sustain my role as a healer in a fulfilling way.
