Introduction

*See my website www.dovetaletherapy.com for more information* Looking for more than traditional talk therapy? I offer Art Therapy to children, adults, and families seeking an alternative way to express feelings that could be difficult to formulate using words. Art Therapy can be beneficial to individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma as it fosters self-awareness, emotional release, and personal growth. I am also specialized in working with members of the adoption community. As a transracial adoptee myself, I understand the distinct personal experiences of adoptees. I strive to provide a safe space for people to explore their feelings, foster healthy communication, and address any behavioral/emotional issues. In my work with adoptees I utilize a combination of talk and art therapy to explore each client’s adoption story with compassion, understanding, and empathy. I help people navigate the complexities of attachment, abandonment, identity, and grief that can arise in the adoption process. By utilizing trauma-informed practices and culturally sensitive approaches, I seek to empower families and individuals to build strong, resilient lifelong relationships and promote healing.
