Expression, in all of its forms, is empowerment. Being able to trust someone and feel safe with them is instrumental in amplifying expression. This is why it is important to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. Clients may carry experiences that they do not have the words for — and that’s okay. As an art therapist, I use the creative process to support clients in connecting with themselves and build self-confidence and compassion. I specialize in working with survivors of trauma and individuals who are facing challenges related to self-worth, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and interpersonal difficulties.

Reaching out for support can feel daunting and intimidating and I want to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and not worrying if you are doing something right or wrong or if it's too soon or too late to ask any questions. I strive to be empathetic and understanding of people and how we show up daily—no judgments, no dumb questions...just non-judgmental support because that’s what we all deserve.
