I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and board certified registered art therapist. I specialize in working with people who want to examine their relationships with themselves, with others, and with substances. You may want to reach out to me if you are looking for a therapist who is both knowledgeable and nonjudgmental about substance use or other stigmatized behaviors. Additionally, I offer psychedelic integration and pre- and post-ritual counseling.
I believe relationship is the vehicle for change. My approach is client directed, respectful, and compassionate. I will work with you to examine all areas of your life and determine what is and isn't working. Most people change gradually and experience ups and downs along the way. I will help you discover your own internal motivation for change.
If you are curious about art therapy, your substance use, or just want someone to help you sort through the complexities of life, let's talk to see if we are a good fit. Please feel free to contact me with questions about my techniques, philosophies, and specializations.
