I have a passion for helping people with their mental health and would love to one day focus on the treatment of trauma-related disorders. I intend to do this by studying emerging therapies for trauma, including art therapy and EMDR, and biofeedback. Currently, I am a photo major with an Art Therapy minor at Columbus College of Art & Design, gaining important knowledge to further my understanding of photography and art’s place in the world of mental health treatment as well as my own life. For myself, photography has acted as a tool for catharsis, meditation, and personal expression. Although I have explored many other media, I have always been pulled back to photography as my main modality. This is due to it being an art form that I have the most control over and results in finished products that feel the most truthful to my creative intention. After Graduation, I intend to continue my education through a counselor education master’s program, resulting in licensure so I can begin my practice. This will allow me to eventually open a private practice that will facilitate creative modalities as a form of treatment in a space that is actually built for them.
