As a licensed mental health counselor with over fifteen years in the counseling field, I understand the importance of living a life filled with joy. I believe that the key to a successful therapeutic relationship is in the connection made between therapist and client. My hope is that I can connect with you and that we can work in a safe and supportive environment to help you deal with any issues of concern in your life. I am here to support you in finding your true self and to help you find what brings the most meaning into your life.

Understanding and making meaning of experiences is important to heal and move forward in life. There are times when we all feel off balance, unfocused, afraid, and alone. I work with children and adults to help them learn skills to make meaning of experiences and feelings, find what matters to them, and manage the tough and uncomfortable things that we all often push aside. I take an active approach to therapy, helping clients to identify values, goals, and changes to make them feel fulfilled. Whether I'm working with a 3 or 30 year old, I strive to be curious, empathetic, and respectful of the unique human that you are.

I utilize art therapy as a method to offer expression for emotions that are not able to be expressed through words. Connecting my educational background in fine arts as well as psychology I was able to complete my masters in Clinical art therapy and counseling. Professionally and in my personal life I have found that the ability to express ourselves in different ways can bring levity and peace throughout our daily interactions. I also work alongside individuals to manage stress and anxiety.

Music therapy is a collaborative partnership in the creative process to discover how music can foster growth. Clients who seek to explore themselves through individualized music experiences are welcome to open a dialogue into whether music therapy is the right modality for them. Music therapy can address a wide variety of clinical domains. I strive to identify, develop, and adapt treatment plans based on the individual strengths and needs of each client based on the current research literature. Each goal area is treated through how clients engage, adapt, and initiate novel music experiences.

Relationships are at the core of our being. They enrich our daily lives, fuel new experiences, and are one of the most important ways we come to know ourselves. All of us feel the need to belong and connect with others; we strive to be accepted in ways that feel genuine, meaningful and satisfying. Unhealthy relationships can take their toll, but good relationships improve all aspects of life, strengthening health, mind, and connections with others. However, all relationships can fall off track and go through periods of conflict, or be impacted by trauma, which may lead us to feel frustrated, stuck, dissatisfied, and/or frightened.
