Feeling stuck is a universal human experience, but you don’t have to carry that weight alone. We all face moments of overwhelm, yet healing often happens through genuine connection. As an Art Therapist and MFT, I offer a collaborative space where you remain the primary driver of your care. I listen deeply to your needs to ensure your voice shapes our path forward. While I draw from various modalities to support you, they are simply tools used to reach your specific goals. My priority is your autonomy and expertise in your own life. I work to ensure your goals are at the center of your care.
With 20+ years of experience, I blend talk and art therapy to fit your needs. Whether you prefer traditional conversation or creative tools, the choice is yours. I support teens through seniors, in person (OR) or telehealth, to unpack identity and personal goals. My holistic approach is tailored to you, ensuring your voice guides our work together.
Finding a therapist is hard, but a strong bond is the key to change. I offer a non-judgmental, creative space built on trust and authenticity. As an artist, I use visual arts and writing to help you explore and heal. If I don’t have all the answers, I’m committed to finding them through expert consultation. Let’s create a path toward your growth together.

I hold a Doctorate and a Master's in Art Therapy (PhD), providing me with specialized skills to integrate creativity into our work. However, art-making is never a requirement as many of my clients find success using traditional talk therapy alone. Trained in CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT, I offer a versatile approach that respects your preferences while drawing on my advanced clinical expertise.
