As a Harvard trained psychologist, I work to use my education, experience, and passion for my profession to create a comfortable, caring enviroment for every individual I see. My initial focus is on understanding the unique ways in which each person thinks and feels about themselves and their life experiences. I then work with individuals to discover and change aspects of their thinking that have become ineffective; thoughts that lead to debilitating negative emotions or destructive behaviors. In every session I work to foster the open dialog and mutual respect needed to ensure a productive therapeutic relationship.

I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey to healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. With a foundation in both counseling and the creative arts, I offer a unique and holistic approach to well-being. Art has the incredible ability to convey emotions, thoughts, and experiences that might be difficult to express verbally. Through art therapy, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to engage in creative processes, fostering self-awareness and insight. Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship challenges or simply seeking personal growth, art therapy can be a powerful tool.
