Hi there! A little about me; I’m a Creative Arts Therapist who believes in the importance of exploring oneself through the power of creative expression. I ground myself in holistic practices to best support meaningful work with clients.

I bring psychodynamic, humanistic, and strength-based approaches to therapy and together we will create a safe space that fosters honesty and self-acceptance.
How do we deeply explore the difficult parts of ourselves with self-compassion and acceptance, while at the same time stretching to grow, evolve, and heal? Can we dare to live our lives in a way that realizes our full potential and what holds us back from doing so? It can be difficult to explore this all alone. In a gentle, nonjudgmental, and collaborative way, I provide support for my clients on their journey to become more fully themselves.

I work from a strength-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-focused lens.
Are you struggling with self-doubt and self-criticism? Maybe you are trying to heal from trauma or childhood attachment wounds and don't know where to turn. Perhaps you sense internal rage and grief at an unjust world. As humans, we are wired to need connection, acceptance, and safety, but our environment often falls short. I am here to provide real-life tools to navigate life's daily challenges while working with the brain, body, and relational space to foster emotional health and healing.

I create a safe environment in which you can feel comfortable to say anything without fearing judgment. I want you to feel at ease in order to be able to trust me with your stories. I love exploring so many aspects of a person’s life and to be able to help you make sense of it all. Where the pain, the anger, sadness, all comes from. I’m strength based and I like to learn what tools you already have as you journey through life, because you may not see your own courage or tenacity that was able to help you overcome so many obstacles. I want to explore where your past is showing up in the present.

Every journey toward healing is unique and the decision to seek counseling can be difficult. Healing starts with a choice and is an ongoing process. When we create a deeper, meaningful relationship with ourselves, we can better understand and gain awareness around our actions, thoughts, and behaviors. I am passionate about the work I do and understand the importance of providing a safe space, where you can be heard. We will work together to help you develop a new awareness allowing for change. We will identify existing strengths, assess presenting concerns, and explore new coping methods to replace maladaptive patterns.

Counseling shouldn't be a chore. I work hard to offer a flexible and empowering space for clients to take control of their lives and make the changes they want to see. Therapy is for you and just starting the process takes a lot of work so utilizing a strength based, empowering and positive psychology approach is how I make a very person centered practice. It's hard to find a therapist that is a good fit but together we will work on achieving the life and goals that help you live the life you want and desire.
