I began my career in social work & advocacy - specifically working with homeless individuals and families. At the time I had never heard of art therapy, but I had been an artist growing up and one day naturally started painting on the walls of our office along with several volunteers. I realized that a little color, and playfulness had gone a long way to increase the mood of my fellow companions, even knowing they didn't have a place to go at the end of the day. Fast forward two years later and I found NDNU!
