Do you ever feel like you’re “too much,” “toxic,” or that you’ll never get it right? Maybe you’ve even been told you’re “crazy” or “overreacting.” These painful thoughts and messages can leave you feeling condemned, shamed, and disconnected from who you really are. I understand how heavy that burden can be. My role is to walk alongside you—to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process your story, work through trauma and anxiety, and begin to see yourself with the compassion and clarity you deserve. Together, we can move toward the life you want, grounded in healing, authenticity, and hope.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Registered Art Therapist and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist, I provide tailored therapy for individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, using evidence-based approaches to support healing and resilience and expressive arts to express hard to verbalize feelings.
You deserve to feel at home in yourself and your relationships. I provide a supportive space to explore, heal, and grow through expressive arts and therapy, helping you reconnect with your strengths and create the life you truly want.

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.
