Hi Facebook Friends,
I've opened my private practice!
If you or anyone you know can use my services please DM me to set up an appointment.

Here's a little bit about me and how I work.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with kids, parents and families. My style is based on a person centered approach. I believe in creating a receptive and non judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. Our work together is built upon trust, empathy, acceptance and mutual respect. Absolutely no previous art experience is necessary to gain the benefits and enjoy this work.

I have worked for over 15 years providing individual art psychotherapy and group art therapy with children, adults, seniors and families in a variety of settings including private practice, schools, community centers, senior centers and hospitals. I am a Board Certified, Licensed, Registered Art Therapist and NY Licensed Creative Arts Therapist. I hold a graduate degree in Expressive Arts Therapy with a specialization in Art Therapy from Lesley University in Cambridge MA. In addition, I have a graduate degree in Early Childhood, Special Education.
