What Parents are Saying….

  • "It was a difficult process in finding an available child therapist as well as having my wife being comfortable with the process. My child has felt more comfortable around other kids and other family members."

  • "We loved working with Davenport Creative Arts Therapy! Our therapist was patient, receptive and worked well with our child, and understood the needs of the family and applied her knowledge to her sessions with our child. We will definitely recommend the practice to our friends."

I have the tools and experience to help your teen create lasting change.

I recognize that humans heal in the context of relationships. That’s why you play an important role in the therapy process.

Through tailored parent check-in meetings, you will learn new ways to respond to tough moments.

In addition to Art Therapy, I hold post- graduate training in cutting-edge evidence-based therapy methods such as; DBT Skills, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).

I specialize in integrating the following techniques to help teens thrive:

  • Art Therapy

  • Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Why Art Therapy?

Traditional “talk” therapy isn’t for everyone. Through guided art making exercises and evidence-based therapy, your child will develop essential emotional and social skills through creative self-expression.

Children and teens often struggle to express their emotions verbally. Art therapy provides an alternative means of communication, allowing them to express feelings, thoughts, and experiences that may be too complex or overwhelming to put into words.

Parenting a teen who is struggling can feel so hard. I’m here to help.

I know that working with a teen therapist who understands parenting is essential.

As a therapist and parent, I get the complexities of parenting, and provide empathetic support, practical strategies, and valuable insights tailored to your unique situation.
