ALL ABOUT THERAPY
Life is filled with situations that we experience which are overwhelming and sometimes too much to handle. With my help I believe each person can learn more about themselves and grow to be successful.
​
I am a New York State Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor. I am also trained in EMDR and specialize in trauma work. I take a person-centered approach, and think that with the combination of these skills, I can offer someone a treatment modality that is not typically offered.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma.
​
Creative Arts Therapy is a unique method of therapy that helps individuals express themselves in a different way. It incorporates traditional talk therapy, but adds the elements of art and writing to help a person connect better to themselves and others. My goal is to help support you in adjusting to and making changes in your life.
I have significant experience working with people struggling with a substance use disorder, and those affected by this disease. With my expertise, I can help support you in either process.
​
My practice is located in Fairport, NY. I am available for telehealth or in-person sessions.
