Welcome! I am a licensed creative arts therapist in NY state and have experience working in various therapeutic settings supporting clients with a variety of mental health needs. I currently am in private practice supporting adolescents and adults experiencing mental health struggles both in person and in telehealth settings. I work to support clients experiencing difficult life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties along with diagnosis such as OCD, PTSD and mood disorders. If you feel like you have been stuck in the same negative cycle and would like support. I am open and here to help!
My background is in both marriage and family therapy and creative arts therapy. I am a licensed creative art therapist and have a certificate in divorce mediation supporting families who are currently separating or going through divorce. I work with teens and adults utilizing different classic therapy modalities and integrate them with a creative approach.
I understand it is a significant decision to seek support when you are going through a tough time whether you feel you are chronically struggling, going through a rough spot or life transition, I am here to help. Please reach me through this page or my website. Please note: if this is a medical or psychiatrist emergency, call 9-1-1 for support.

I work with clients often who are experiencing disruptions in relations rooted in past trauma. During our first session we will work on an intake and some initial treatment goals. As we go on we will utilize both talk therapy and creative methods to collaborate and address your needs in order to integrate and heal. Many of my clients love the access creativity gives them to new ways of thinking.

I work to meet the client where they are at as far as treatment modality. I often utilize classic therapy methods such as CBT or DBT in combination with creative arts methods as the client is comfortable. Therapist often will utilize frameworks such as narrative therapy to assist in the storytelling and expression of the client. Therapist comes from an egalitarian and multicultural perspective.
