I believe our minds and bodies carry the impact of life experiences, and that emotions can become held in ways that affect well-being. I offer a supportive, collaborative space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, relationships, and present-moment experiences through creative expression.
My approach is warm, client-centered, and grounded in mind-body and experiential frameworks, with an emphasis on the here and now. Alongside talk therapy, I integrate art-making and expressive media to support insight, emotional processing, self-regulation My clinical interests include art therapy, women’s mental health, anxiety, and neurodivergence.
Together, we work toward healing, growth, and self-understanding in an affirming, nonjudgmental space. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to engage in the process.
