I'm a licensed mental health counselor and art therapist with 8 years of professional experience. I'm passionate about helping clients work through trauma, LGBTQ+-related issues, anxiety, and depression, among other things. I see people of all ages, specializing in adolescents. I use a strengths-based creative approach, integrating different modalities to encourage expression and healing. I emphasize an open and safe environment where anything can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to take steps toward change and seeking a more fulfilling and happier life. I'm here to support and empower you on that journey.
I will challenge you to be vulnerable and open to positive change. I will encourage creative interventions to expand the possibility for growth and betterment. I will always support you and do what I can to help. Taking the first step toward seeking help is hard, but you don't have to do it alone. I got your back.
My approach is flexible, warm, and supportive. I want to help empower you to reach your goals and overcome life's challenges. A chaotic world calls for an increased level of self-care. You matter. You deserve happiness and fulfillment in your life.

I work with clients to identify how they could improve themselves and their life. I want to focus on what they think is most important, at which point we create treatment goals and objectives together. Treatment success could be seen in feeling capable to overcome challenges and moving forward bravely.

My approach in treatment is individual to the client. I want to meet your unique needs and strengths. Therapy approach is not 'one size fits all' and what is helpful to one person might not be helpful to another. Every client deserves a therapeutic relationship catered to their needs.
