Do you ever feel like you’re “too much,” “toxic,” or that you’ll never get it right? Maybe you’ve been told you’re “overreacting” or made to question your own experience. These messages can leave you feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, and disconnected from who you truly are. I work with individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, and anxiety who feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or relationship difficulties. My role is to walk alongside you—offering a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences, understand your reactions, and reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate way.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Registered Art TherapistSM (ATR-BC), and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist, I integrate talk therapy with art therapy to support both emotional and somatic healing. When words feel limiting, creative expression can help access and process experiences in a deeper way.
You deserve to feel at home in yourself and your relationships. Therapy offers a space to slow down, gain insight, and begin to experience change—at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with clients who have a history of trauma and find themselves struggling with anxiety, boundaries, and communication. Feelings of shame, guilt, and fear often weigh heavily and can spill into relationships—creating conflict, distance, or isolation. Together, we work to release those burdens, rebuild self-worth, and create more authentic and meaningful connections.

I take a holistic and creative approach to therapy, addressing the mind, body, and spirit. My work combines traditional talk therapy with expressive arts interventions such as visual journaling, storytelling, and narrative therapy. I also draw from mindfulness, trauma-informed practices, and cognitive-behavioral strategies when helpful.
