You might be feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or like no one truly understands you. Maybe you’ve been through trauma, tough transitions, or just feel stuck navigating life on your own. I offer a combination of talk therapy, music therapy, and expressive arts therapy interventions in my practice. Music and expressive arts therapy can be especially beneficial for clients who haven't found talk therapy helpful. Music therapy and expressive arts therapy enable clients to approach and analyze their past and emotions in a way that is less intimidating and more abstract. I would love to dig deeper with you.
I help clients feel seen, safe, and supported through tough transitions. I have an extensive background in behavioral health, specializing in working with adolescents and young adults. I use creativity, humor, and real talk to build trust. I offer emotional support, practical guidance, and a steady presence to help my clients grow, heal, and move forward.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. It takes courage to reach out, and you’re already doing something brave by exploring support. I’m here to listen, show up, and walk with you at your pace. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to connect.
