Hi, I’m someone who finds joy in creativity, compassion, and connection—with people, animals, and the natural world. Art has always been a deep passion of mine; whether I’m painting, drawing, or exploring new mediums, it’s how I express what words sometimes can’t. That led me to art therapy. I’m also someone who thrives on helping others. I believe small acts of kindness can create big ripples. My love for animals runs just as deep. When I’m not creating or helping, you’ll most likely find me outdoors. Nature is my happy place—whether I’m hiking, camping, gardening, or just watching the sunset, it recharges and inspires me.
In our sessions, clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where they are truly seen and heard. My approach is both creative and compassionate—whether we’re talking, creating, or simply sitting with something difficult, I bring gentle curiosity and genuine care to the process.
I believe healing doesn’t have to look just one way, so I draw from different tools and creative expressions to help uncover what words alone might not reach. You can expect to walk away feeling more connected to yourself, supported in your journey, and reminded that you don’t have to go through things alone.
