Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, using creative arts as a pathway for healing and emotional growth. My belief is that creativity, whether through art, movement, music, or words, can be a transformative force, fostering connection to oneself and the world around us. My approach to therapy is grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based framework.
I integrate various therapeutic techniques in my practice, including CBT, psycho-education, mindfulness, and expressive arts therapy. My work draws on the healing potential of art therapy, dance/movement therapy, music therapy, and bibliotherapy to help individuals express their emotions and make sense of their experiences in creative and cathartic ways.
I value each individual's unique worldview, culture, and intersectionality, as these are essential in providing meaningful and respectful support in therapy. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore all aspects of their identity, experiences, and emotions.
