Master of Arts in Art Therapy Counseling
The therapeutic utilization of art and creativity as a means for uncovering and understanding the subconscious and unconscious. Art Therapy is a vehicle for communication in the therapeutic setting, giving voice to the deeply rooted aspects of Self that make us who we are and how we are. It also serves as a modality of communication for those without communication skills, such as on an Alzheimer’s unit, with children, or persons with severe communicative disorders such as Autism and selective mutism. It is only truly Art Therapy when facilitated by someone trained in this specific field.

Certified Coach in Dynamic Eating Psychology & Mind Body Nutrition
The crossroads where nutrition and psychology intersect, this certification equips practitioners to help clients heal their relationship with food, body, and Self. In a world where billions of dollars are being poured into the health and diet industry, and thousands of Coaches are calling themselves “Health” or “Wellness” Coaches, people are not getting healthier or feeling well. In fact, we as a collective whole are worse off than ever. This training has equipped me to shift the paradigm and go beyond the failed methods of the past, to a realm where food is no longer about deprivation, fear, and dread.
