As someone who is on a continuous therapeutic journey, I truly believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and creative expression as tools for healing and trauma processing. As a holistic, identity-affirming clinician, I bring warmth, authenticity, and a genuine presence to the therapeutic space. In my work as a Creative Arts Therapist, I help you connect with your true self by using a Humanistic and Strength-based approach. This method fosters self-discovery, positive reinforcement, and acceptance; empowering you to embrace your inner strengths and navigate challenges.
I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, generational and complex trauma, PTSD, and grief. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I’m extremely passionate about working with the BIPOC community and military personnel. I'm currently in-network with Cigna insurance and offer self-pay options.
When choosing me as your therapist, I will be sure to honor your autonomy as you take the lead in your journey. My role is to be present and supportive, guiding and grounding you every step of the way as you process and heal.
