Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) with over 13 years of experience using art therapy with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself, explore what’s getting in the way, and develop tools that genuinely fit your life. Clients often come to me to build healthier relationships, manage anxiety or depression, improve focus and emotional regulation, and find more effective ways to communicate. I help clients better understand themselves, express difficult feelings, and develop healthier ways of coping.
I offer art therapy and counseling for children ages 5 and older, adolescents, and adults. I work with clients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as challenges related to ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also support children and families navigating major life transitions, including divorce and other changes in family dynamics.
I’m here to help you and your family take the first step toward healing and growth as you navigate life’s challenges and transitions. At Healing Canvas Therapy, I provide a safe, creative space to collaborate, build new skills, and find greater balance through art therapy, CBT, and mindfulness-based tools.

I use art therapy in my practice, in conjunction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In the first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most helpful ways for you to make progress. With CBT, I'll help you (or your kids) learn how to challenge your thoughts, which can lead to changes in your feelings and behaviors for the better.
