I am a both an artist and a mental health therapist. Many of my therapy clients are artists, musicians, writers, other therapists, and self employed people. If you are ready to work on healing depression, trauma, feelings of 'being stuck', addiction, or other issues, then give me a call or contact me. I use evidence based, yet varied and flexible techniques. Frequently they are a combination of art and experiential therapy.
