Ain (she/hers) specializes in providing expressive therapy for children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing challenges with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, mind-body connection, and identity. Ain helps you to explore your own world and feelings through insightful creative expression, guiding prompts, curiosity, and art making to create meaning from your internal, external, and relational experiences. She provides individualized therapy that meets the needs of each client and is passionate about building a connection within the therapy relationship while providing a safe, inclusive, and authentic space for BIPOC and intersectionally identified clients.
Ain’s work is grounded in trauma-informed, social-justice oriented, person-centered therapy. She believes that you are the expert of your own experiences and art making is one of many ways to express yourself. Ain is trained in creative and relational therapy as well as more traditional talk therapy and can work with clients who prefer solely talk therapy.
As an artist she offers a deeper understanding of the transformative powers of art making; as a former teacher she values care, patience, and empowerment; as a therapist she provides thoughtful insight, humor, and compassion to assist along the journey of therapy.
