I am currently accepting new clients. I'm so glad you are here! I provide a compassionate, safe and non-judgmental space to talk about life’s challenges. I love working with children, teens, college students and families to help provide support and direction. I am passionate about helping people connect in healthy ways, healing wounds that prevent us from living a life that is fulfilling. Often childhood trauma or dysfunctional family systems can cause so much pain, that we struggle to even love ourselves, but there is hope and these wounds can be healed.

Art therapy offers a unique path to access and express dreamlike or diffuse mental images representing emotional memories that often are non-linear and therefore difficult to express verbally. The imagery then becomes the subject of contemplation and discussion with the art therapist and will add to the client's understanding of what motivates her/his behavior and emotions. In addition, art making is a soothing and meditative process and helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression while working through sometimes difficult issues.

I see my job as supporting people in stepping into lives of consciousness, authenticity, meaning, and joy - whatever that looks like for each particular person. My focus is primarily with people who are dealing with grief, addiction / recovery, and/or aging, although many of my clients are outside these particular categories but yet are longing for a deeper life. To get there, healing has to happen first. Trauma needs to be addressed. Beliefs, communication styles, and relationship patterns that are limiting need to be considered and reformulated. Stressors and anxiety needs to be managed. This is the path we travel together.

Do you want to become more satisfied with your life in ways that, so far, seem out of reach? You don't have to go through this process alone. I'd like to help. Perhaps talking to friends or trying to change by yourself hasn't worked, and you may be left wondering how to really make changes that last. What may feel overwhelming to you may become manageable with someone who understands what you're going through and how you may move forward to satisfying relationships to those around you, your life's work, and most importantly, to yourself.

I work well with clients who have previously found therapy to be lacking. While my clients typically find sessions enjoyable, I also push for each person with whom I work to utilize learned skills throughout the week! Life changes require effort but I also understand that it's hard to make significant changes when every moment feels like slogging through molasses. I tend to be more involved as a therapist than some, which is a choice born out of my own life experiences. Sometimes people don't have a fully-developed support system to help support them as they begin to make healthier choices. If that's the case for you, get in touch.

Welcome to my practice...it is not always easy getting to the point of asking for outside help. I recognize and honor the place you are now. It takes courage to look inward and bravery to face what you see. I find if there is a desire and willingness to change, then change will indeed occur. "Life is so beautiful. Life is so hard."-Kate Bowler

I enjoy working with folks who are seeking to build satisfaction, authenticity, and fulfillment in their lives. Many of those that I have worked with have faced challenges related to life transitions, neurdivergence, LGBTQIA+ identity, systemic oppression, interpersonal relationships, and trauma. I believe that the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration between client and therapist; ultimately, that you, the client, are the experts of their own life.

For over 13 years, I have dedicated myself to supporting people of all ages through a range of stressors, including anxiety, depression, tense family dynamics, grief, chronic illness, and life transitions. In this work, I’ve seen firsthand the tremendous pressures individuals face to appear “okay” and the self-blame that often comes from not meeting unrealistic societal expectations. These experiences have deepened my passion for helping those who are entering parenthood, raising young children, caregiving, redefining roles and boundaries in relationships, and navigating the complexities of grief and loss.
