My journey in mental health has given me a diverse toolkit—harm reduction, trauma-informed care, art therapy, CBT, crisis management, motivational interviewing, positive discipline, and Adlerian theory. I’ve worked with clients of all ages on issues like mood disorders, chronic pain, trauma, PTSD, stress, anger management, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, grief, addictions, and codependency.
I’m passionate about mental health because it shapes our identity and well-being. Learning to cope with uncomfortable emotions builds resilience—even when early emotional growth was stunted.
As an art therapist, I use a person-centered approach that blends art (sand tray, drawing, painting) with mindfulness, CBT, and play therapy. Art is a powerful tool to express experiences and foster healing. My specialties include trauma, chronic pain, and self-esteem, helping you break through systemic constraints to discover your inner strength.
In our sessions, you’ll experience warmth, spontaneity, and creativity. I’m upbeat, humorous, but deeply empathetic. I use playful exercises to help you build coping skills and foster a healthier relationship with yourself.
If you’re ready to break barriers and embrace your true potential, I’m here to guide you on your journey.
