Hello, I am a competent and compassionate psychotherapist who holds ATR-BC (Board Certified Registered Art Therapist) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) credentials with extensive clinical experience since 2014 with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My therapy training and experience include followings; Creative art therapy, Behavioral therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT, Motivational interviewing, Person-centered psychotherapy, Dialectical behavioral therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative therapy, Emotion-focused therapy, Mindfulness-based therapy, & Christian faith base therapy.

Welcome! I recognize how much effort it can take just to consider therapy, so I’m glad you’re here. If you are looking for someone who is interested in your experience of the world and invested in building a relationship to help you achieve your goals, you have come to the right place. Together, we will create sessions that are tailored to fit your needs. I will encourage your joy and humor, note your strengths, and meet you in your vulnerability. My therapy approach has been described as empowering, authentic, and dynamic. I value the mind-body connection, building distress tolerance, and deepening our understanding of ourselves.

As a Somatic Healing Justice Art, Play, & Hip-Hop Therapist, I view you as the master of your own narrative; my purpose is to walk beside you, offering light through the shadows when the path seems unclear. Together, we will navigate the unique landscape of your experiences. Embracing the principle of 'Sankofa', we recognize the courage in looking back to forge ahead, using this reflection to craft the narrative you aspire to live by. My approach integrates creative practices grounded in the understanding of trauma's impact on the brain, aiming to help you sculpt the life narrative you seek.

Some of our most difficult times are also our greatest opportunities for growth and healing. It can be challenging and rewarding to make changes in your life and in your relationships. My therapeutic focus is on you and your unique perception of your daily life and surrounding environment. With a combination of creativity, mindfulness, and talk therapy, together we can work to promote a better understanding of emotions and a stronger sense of self.

No matter what challenge you are facing, making the decision to enter therapy is one of the most important steps we can take on the path to healing. I do not believe any of us were born to suffer. I seek to help my clients find the opportunities for growth that our challenges present us with. While I support my clients to learn to sit with and accept that difficult emotions are a part of living, I also help clients to identify where unnecessary suffering is created by limited beliefs and self concepts. By resolving unhealed traumas and the burdens of the past, we can experience a more wholehearted, joyful life.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) based out of Pennsylvania. I earned my Masters from Drexel University and have been practicing in the field for over 10 years. I collaborate with neurodivergent clients and their families/caregivers to identify and achieve their goals.

As an art therapist, I value the innate creativity within each person, viewing art not only as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for self-discovery and growth. I approach healing through a feminist lens, recognizing and addressing the intersectional dynamics that influence mental health. I integrate CBT, mindfulness techniques, and talk therapy, tailoring my approach to meet your individual needs. Recognizing the potential intimidation and anxiety associated with therapy, I prioritize fostering a warm, non-judgmental environment where humor is not just welcomed but embraced.

I know starting therapy can be hard. I hope sharing about who I am as a therapist helps clarify if I feel like a good fit for you. Therapy is a relationship that centers you. I view connection and authenticity as strengths. I will take you and your needs seriously while celebrating your joy. I center consent and empowerment, depathologize responses to harm (systemic or otherwise), and value lived experience. I am non-judgmental, interested, understanding, and trust your self-knowledge. I show up attentively, with warmth and care. I believe in those I work with and am excited for what you will create for yourself.

In art making, we can create space to process experiences that feel outside of spoken language.
