I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Art Therapist, Board Certified. I view therapy as a creative process that promotes self-expression to aid clients in moving through blocks and to work towards achieving their goals. I meet my clients with empathy and compassion and work collaboratively to identify treatment priorities. The treatment modalities I use are art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (consists of a skill set combined with mindfulness focused on helping clients gain more control of their emotions), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma focused CBT.

You feel broken and unlovable. You feel disconnected from yourself and your life. You have past experiences that you try to forget and you tell yourself that the past does not affect you- but that's not the truth. The truth is, you feel deep pain, hurt, and maybe shame and you are tired of pretending that you're fine. You just wake up and go through the same motions over and over again. Maybe things look great on the outside but on the inside you are struggling to feel anything or you are feeling everything all at once. Let me help you. I will guide you and support you as you process the past so that you can enjoy the present.
