As a licensed marriage family therapist and clinical art therapist my goal is to  provide you with the tools and information to help your family in a time of crisis or to assist you in making needed changes in your life. You are an important part of our community and deserve to lead a life that celebrates your unique contributions to this world. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve current challenges in your life for a brighter future!

ABQ Therapeutic Arts is a counseling service that focuses on solutions for children, individuals and families that are struggling or desire to make changes in their lives. As your primary counselor; I offer a variety of  options to assist you in your quest for a happier lifestyle. I want to help you achieve your goals. I specialize in working with families of children with attachment issues, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and other issues that impact the ability to effectively parent children. In addition, I offer creative art experiences to individuals and groups of all ages that address a variety of issues including trauma, grief, and life changes.

Please take a look at the menu of services offered as there are many counseling options available depending on your needs and financial ability. I look forward to an exciting year in 2010 helping you and your family to get back on track to a healthier, happier rewarding life!
