Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or your relationships? As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I help adults and couples move from surviving to thriving. I combine talk therapy with creative and holistic approaches to support emotional wellness, clarity, and personal growth. Together, we explore what’s holding you back and help you reconnect with your strengths, values, and the life you truly want to live.
I believe everyone is capable of healing, no matter where they begin. With the right support, even small steps can lead to meaningful change. I personalize therapy to fit your journey, often providing tools, reflections, or custom worksheets to help you stay supported and empowered between sessions.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Healing is possible, and you are worthy of the support you need to get there. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore what’s next for you. Reach out today to take the next step toward clarity, connection, and lasting personal growth.

My therapy approach empowers clients with tools to navigate life confidently, so therapy doesn't have to be indefinite.
