Special Interests

Clinical Interests

I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in the State of Colorado and a Clinical Art Therapist.  I provide art therapy assessment and intervention to children and adolescents.  With art therapy, I also treat the impact of chronic illness on children, adolescents and their families through the modality of individual, group and family art therapy.  In group art therapy, children can meet other children who are experiencing similar health problems, express themselves and increase their self esteem.  Please see the art therapy link for more information about art therapy.
