I focus on supporting individuals who struggle with feelings of low self-worth and esteem, particularly in the context of relationships, work, or academic life. My therapeutic lens explores the roots of these challenges in family dynamics.
Through interaction with art materials—whether simple or more complex, depending on your comfort and interest—we can access unconscious patterns and past events that continue to shape the present. Using your hands and creating images can help manage anxious states, address painful feelings of inadequacy, and move through stagnation.

From the outside, your life may seem fine, but internally, things don’t feel right. You might notice a quiet sense of unease, repeating dynamics that no longer serve you, or a growing distance from parts of yourself you once felt connected to. You don’t necessarily feel overwhelmed or at a breaking point, but you know you’re ready for something to shift. I support adults who are exploring questions around identity, relationships, boundaries, and self-confidence, especially those who have learned to minimize their own needs over time. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical, offering a space that feels authentic.

Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”. I am here to support you in expressing your untold stories. I will witness and listen to your untold stories and help you express and process them through the tools that expressive arts therapies provide, particularly art. Art therapy is a less challenging medium to explore your emotional needs. Through our art therapy sessions I will help you catch those overwhelming emotions and entangled thoughts. Together we will be able to find the best strategies for you to make the changes you need to feel better and heal.

Welcome to the socially-aware hypersensitives seeking a place to share their authentic Truth. The world is incredibly heavy right now and it may be unsafe to put down the masks you've built over time, but you crave a safe and creative space to be accepted as you are. You may feel too much in all your intersectional, confused, imperfect, and resisting-self. Maybe you don't believe in yourself anymore, but you love the magic of stories and creativity. In right relationship, it is absolutely possible to clear the static in your head, to gain clarity and perspective, and to be nourished and strengthened when it all feels hopeless.

You may look fine on the outside, but inside, you feel exhausted, restless, or disconnected. Perhaps you’ve been pushing through stress, loss, overthinking, burnout, or self-doubt, and you’re ready for things to feel different.
