Clients who are most drawn to my work—and who find value in it—are those who feel disconnected from themselves in some way. Some are stuck in patterns they can’t quite name but know aren’t serving them. Others feel overwhelmed by emotions or, conversely, detached from them. Many struggle with self-criticism, uncertainty about their place in the world, or difficulty navigating relationships. What they mostly share is a desire to understand themselves more fully, to feel at home in their own minds and bodies, and to move through life with greater purpose.
I offer virtual 1:1 art therapy, blending therapy with creative expression. My approach is relational and psychodynamic. Through imagery and symbolism, I help clients explore emotions, shift patterns, and develop self-compassion. Our therapeutic relationship is the base which provides a space for growth, healing, and reconnection with one’s whole self.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or curious, I offer a space where you can explore your emotions with warmth, curiosity, and care. In art therapy, you don’t need artistic skill—just openness to the process. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out, and we can explore whether this journey for you.
