My primary goal as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you process challenges and harness your strengths. With this foundation, I layer in creative, experiential strategies that access the root of current and historical obstacles. As a clinical social worker, I have focused my training on relationship dynamics (particularly within couples and families) and creative arts therapies. My multifaceted professional background as an actor, teacher, and entrepreneur has uniquely honed my understanding of complex human emotion, interpersonal relationships, and the role of the body in storing our personal histories.
