With a background in the arts, I understand that healing doesn’t always begin with words. Sometimes, color, form, or creative exploration can help express what you are not yet ready to say aloud. I believe in your capacity for growth and healing, and I am here to support you without judgment.

There are many challenges to life and having someone support you in that process can make it easier. I work hard to create an environment that feels comfortable in order to allow people to be their most authentic self. I like to help people discover what is best for them and how to navigate in a way that feels right for them. I take a holistic approach to healing to incorporate the mind, body, and soul together and to acknowledge and utilize important cultural treasures that impact our identities and experiences in life.

My ideal client is someone who feels deeply—whether they’re overwhelmed by anxiety, moving through a major life change, or simply trying to make sense of who they are in a complex world. They might be a teen navigating identity, a young adult facing pressure to have it all figured out, or someone of any age who’s ready to look inward with honesty and curiosity.

I enjoy helping children who are experiencing social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, including emotional dysregulation, aggression, anxiety, and diminished self-confidence.
Play is an inherent method through which children explore and make sense of the world around them. Play therapy offers a supportive, non-judgmental space where children can express themselves openly while simultaneously learning and refining healthy coping strategies.
