Creating a space that is safe, non-judgmental, and supportive for my clients is my utmost priority. Navigating through painful emotions can be a solitary journey, but together, we can embark on a path of healing and discovery. My approach is holistic and collaborative. At the heart of successful therapy is a robust therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client, which I believe is a cornerstone for a lasting and transformative experience. Understanding our history offers us profound insights into unresolved issues and internal conflicts.

"Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist" -Eileen Miller. I believe in the creative process as a powerful tool for facilitating self-expression, self-discovery, and self-fulfillment by integrating one's physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. I incorporate a variety of modalities, such as Art Therapy (no prior art training necessary), Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy, into sessions while honoring each client's individual strengths and needs. My experience working with those emotionally distressed and my training in trauma theory supports my belief in every person's innate capacity for healing

From overwhelmed to Empowered! As women, we juggle countless responsibilities, striving to nurture those around us while seeking our own sense of peace and balance. Despite our tireless efforts, we often find ourselves feeling drained, anxious and empty. The weight of these challenges along with feelings of sadness, resentment, and loneliness can be overwhelming. I understand and see you! Achieving rest, peace of mind, and setting healthy boundaries often feels out of reach. Together, we will delve into the root causes of these issues, gaining insight and developing practical skills to foster a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I work well with clients of all parts of the social economic spectrum, from individuals struggling to connect with resources, to high functioning, highly educated individuals. I also work multiple platforms, so if you can’t schedule on my primary platform Alma, send me a message to see if I work with another platform that takes your insurance.
