About
Hello there. You have taken the first step towards healing by just being here. Welcome. Healing takes bravery and lots of hard work, and I am here to support you with your process. I am a Board-Certified Art Therapist, LMFT, and the Owner and Clinical Director of The Artful Healing Center. The Artful Healing Center is a mental health practice dedicated to providing LGBTQ+ inclusive, affirming, and creative counseling.
I am a Gender Affirming therapist & specialize in providing supportive and affirming care to Trans, Non-Binary, Queer, & questioning folks & their families. As a Board-Certified Art Therapist who is also trained in EMDR and Mindfulness, I understand that healing is a process that centers on our own unique stories and lived experiences.
My goal is to support clients to express themselves, be heard, and become aware of their own inner strengths. I recognize that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and will work with you to create a tailored treatement to fit your needs.
