As an art therapist, counselor, and registered yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience, I provide a compassionate, holistic approach to wellness. Rooted in humanistic therapy, my work honors each person's unique strengths, self-awareness, and potential for growth. I offer a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Whether through talk therapy, mindfulness, or creative expression, I help individuals cultivate self-acceptance and meaningful change in their lives.
I integrate creative expression and somatic practices to support healing and growth. Through art therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed yoga, I help clients process emotions, release tension, and cultivate self-awareness in a person-centered, humanistic theoretical model.
Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, or life transitions, I offer a compassionate space for expression, healing, and growth. Through art therapy, mindfulness, and somatic work, we’ll explore what you need to feel more balanced and whole. Reach out—I’m here to help.
