Sometimes words aren’t enough. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, therapy doesn’t have to happen in a chair across from someone. I offer a different approach — one that blends art-making with ecotherapy walk and talk sessions. Whether we’re creating in the studio or walking together outdoors, these sessions invite you to slow down, reconnect, and explore what’s coming up in a more embodied, creative way.
I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, burnout, and identity exploration — including LGBTQ+ experiences.
I meet my client's needs in the moment in a creative, person-centered, and non-judgmental atmosphere. As an artist-therapist, I encourage exploration of both traditional and unconventional art processes and materials to expand your perception of art making all while reaching your therapeutic goals.
In addition to individual therapy, I am an approved LPC supervisor that can provide a creative supervision experience. Your level of artistic knowledge or skill is not important. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and to provide a safe environment where you feel free to express yourself.

Ecotherapy Women's Hiking Group

I’m gathering interest for a new ecotherapy hiking group for adult women focused on self-care, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. This group will offer a space to connect with nature, slow down, and tune into your inner world alongside others on a similar path. If you’re looking for a grounded, supportive way to care for your emotional well-being outdoors, I’d love to hear from you. Spots will be limited—join the waitlist to be the first to know when the group opens. Reach out to express interest or ask questions. Group will be self-pay only.
