You're navigating life's transitions and challenges, feeling stuck between who you were and who you're becoming. Maybe you're a teenager struggling to find your voice, or an adult facing changes that words can't capture. Starting therapy feels vulnerable, even intimidating. But I want you to know something: just taking that first step is something to be proud of.
I became an art therapist because I know how powerful art can be for making sense of experiences. Whether you're exploring art for the first time or already comfortable creating, we can use the art-making process together. My approach weaves traditional counseling with therapeutic art-making, creating a safe space where you can develop coping strategies.
I'm continually moved by the strength it takes to grow, heal, and create. Like a flower pushing through concrete, I'm moved by your strength to grow and heal. I believe everyone is an artist. In this judgment-free space, we'll discover that your hands can say what your mouth cannot . Book online or call today
