Work HistoryI am a licensed and board-certified bilingual Art Therapist with a decade of experience in the field. Since graduating in 2014, I have built a solid career, gaining comprehensive expertise through diverse and extensive experiences. My background includes working in clinical settings, where I honed my skills in therapeutic techniques and patient care. I have provided culturally sensitive mental health services to a wide range of individuals, including junior and high school students, where I adapted art therapy to meet their unique developmental needs. My role in day habilitation centers has given me valuable insights into educational and developmental challenges, while my experience in group practice has enhanced my ability to collaborate with other professionals and tackle complex cases. Currently, in private practice, I continue to refine my expertise, offering tailored art therapy solutions. This breadth of experience across various environments underscores my deep understanding and specialization in art therapy.
