Whether you're an artist, architect, teacher, writer, designer, musician, or someone who simply values creative expression, we can integrate your strengths and lived experience into our work together. As a licensed MFT and registered art therapist with over 10 years of experience and offer grounded, compassionate support to help you navigate anxiety, depression, and life’s transitions.
My areas of focus are Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Art Therapy, and Mindfulness. I often work through a cognitive lens, helping us to make sense of our often confusing thoughts, feelings, and actions to bring about positive, helpful, and lasting change. I have a background in art, music, and film.
I make an effort to understand and prioritize the fundamental elements that make me feel whole, to understand my gifts, and to do the same with my clients. We have an amazing capacity to be creative, find resilience, and work through hardships and I am honored every day to do this work with my clients.
