My website

My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I can help you to feel heard and understood and to connect with your strengths and authenticity. I encourage a foundation of acceptance & self-compassion, providing space for all parts to be discovered and expressed so that healing can occur. I will meet you where you’re at and adjust my approach to support your needs, values, and cultural background. I offer guidance in working with dreams and active imagination for those wanting to explore the depths in this way. I enjoy supporting clients to get unstuck, develop self-love and confidence, to live the life they want to live.

I am trained in clinical mental health counseling and art therapy. Some things are difficult or impossible to put into words, art therapy can be used to explore and express non-verbally—no artistic ability or experience is needed. I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic approach that can be used to heal trauma, requires less talking, and can feel empowering.

I work with adults of all ages, and have experience and enjoy working with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds including race, ethnicity, nationality, ability, socioeconomic status, spirituality/religion, sexual orientation, and gender. Please reach out if you have any questions, I look forward to hearing from you!
