As an art therapist, I empower clients to explore the transformative potential of art in their healing journey. While artmaking can be a powerful tool for growth, it’s never a requirement—I’m equally equipped to provide a traditional therapeutic experience tailored to your needs. Taking a holistic approach, I honor your unique background, current self, and future aspirations. Together, we’ll build a collaborative partnership to help you achieve your goals. I specialize in supporting a diverse range of mental health challenges, with a particular focus on the LGBTQ+ community.
I support individuals and couples through life transitions, grief, neurodivergence, consensual non-monogamy, sexual dysfunction and relationship issues. Also, I have extensive experience working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. My approach is sex-positive, strengths-based, and person-centered, emphasizing collaboration.
I offer all new clients a brief consultation call to determine if my approach aligns with your needs and goals. You’re invited to schedule this initial consultation or your first session through the secure portal on our website. I look forward to supporting you on your therapeutic journey. For more about my background and approach, please visit our website.
