“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”–Aristotle. I have been in your shoes. I know what it is like to reach out for help. It can be both scary and exciting, and above all it is brave. I want to support you on your journey. I believe we are all constantly learning, moving and growing in our personal and professional lives. Therapy is a journey of self exploration. It is both what happens in and outside of the therapy room. I have worked in the mental health field (as a coach, counselor or art therapist) since 2011. My practice is grounded in my values. I value connection. I value compassion. I value creativity.

learning, healing, and practicing new healthy behaviors. I believe we are all imperfect and that makes us unique and interesting. While I believe everyone can benefit from therapy, it is also important to find the right fit in a therapist. I specialize in shame reduction, trauma work, and living a wholehearted life. I incorporate art therapy, positive psych
