About Kathleen (she/her)

I’m a Board Certified Art Therapist registered with the Art Therapy Credentials Board and a member of the American Art Therapy Association. For over 20 years I have  provided art therapy to individuals of all ages in various capacities including individual, family, couple, and group therapy.

​

My passion for supporting people through art therapy grew from personal experience of coping with a life-altering diagnosis, and navigating my care. At times, I felt like just a number and not a person while in the healthcare system, so I turned to art and writing as a way to release my thoughts and feelings. I also embraced other holistic methods to help me to heal including yoga, nature, music, and meditation.

 

It has become my mission to help others to feel seen and heard, and to heal. In my work I address the whole person—mind, body, spirit to achieve health and wellness, as all are connected. My approach is person-centered, catered to each individual's uniqueness.

 

No art experience is required—art therapy is about the process, not the aesthetics of the final product. Reflection of one’s creative work becomes a tool to discover and communicate complex and challenging emotions, thoughts, feelings and ideas.

 

In my work, have witnessed people gain insights, understanding and growth through the non-threatening power of art therapy.
