I am a mental health counselor and art therapist with master’s degrees in Counseling and Art Therapy, along with a certificate in Disability Studies. I have more than ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
The majority of my work focuses on disabilities, trauma, relationship patterns, and parenting—areas where people often need support that feels both grounding and genuinely understanding.
My approach is integrative and strengths‑based. I meet clients exactly where they are and work with them to find the methods that fit how they grow best. I love bringing in creative and expressive approaches for clients who connect more deeply through art, movement, or other non‑traditional ways of exploring their experiences.
If you are seeking support in a way that doesn't feel overly clinical, allows you to go at your own pace, while still challenging you to grow, I encourage you to reach out and see if we are a good fit :)
