I utilize art therapy as a method to offer expression for emotions that are not able to be expressed through words. Connecting my educational background in fine arts as well as psychology I was able to complete my masters in Clinical art therapy and counseling. Professionally and in my personal life I have found that the ability to express ourselves in different ways can bring levity and peace throughout our daily interactions. I also work alongside individuals to manage stress and anxiety.

As a trained psychotherapist, I understand how anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, addiction, and major transitions can lead us to feel disconnected from ourselves and others.

My goal is to support you during these life changes and assist you with developing the skills to be successful in your journey.
