MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Hi I'm Marvea!
I believe that beautiful things can happen after the worst day of your life, and failure is not in falling down, but in staying down. Whether you are looking for insight, or attempting a full life overhaul, I specialize in utilizing the creative process to gain insight and understanding into yourself, others, and the encompassing world we navigate.
MY BACKGROUND
As a lifelong learner, my passion is to accompany anyone curious enough or courageous enough to consider that doubt is a calling to investigate; and growth can be the reward of experience. I am a fully licensed, nationally credentialed, board-certified Art Therapist with years in the field. My work in crisis management has enabled me to share space with many walks of life,
from adults with suicidal ideation, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance abuse; to children with behavioral disorders, aggression, and abuse histories; to geriatric patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s. I have been fortunate to see the change cultivated through the therapeutic process.
There are many unknowns out there, and I would love to help guide you to make connections and find answers. While I often utilize art as a tool in my practice; I am equipped and trained in evidence-based methods, using both to collaborate with you in creating a space conducive to growth, compassion, and understanding.
What brought you here? A small series of decisions and experiences overtime, a moment of inspiration, an accidental find?
Let’s find out together.
