Congratulations on taking your first step into your healing journey! Life is full of obstacles, we often never expect, and navigating this path alone can be challenging. Despite that, here you are searching for someone to navigate these obstacles with you. On this journey, we work together to develop goals necessary for your growth and healing as you are worthy of care, gentleness, and support. You do not need to go through life alone.
I have a special interest in working with grief and loss, but I also have extensive experience with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I will help you build skills based on mindfulness to manage emotions, thoughts, and process any trauma experienced. I enjoy using play and expressive art therapy in sessions to encourage self-expression and managing life.
Everyone’s journey in life is unique, and this one is yours. My goal is to create a space where you feel nurtured, safe, and all good things that you are will bloom. Together, let’s find your inner strength and empower you so you can feel like you are thriving in life. Whether you’re a part of a marginalized group or not, you are safe here.

Grief comes in many forms - be it a family or relationship related loss, transitioning to new school, job, or home, death, or even expectations of life. I work with clients to tell their story in a safe place as well as develop tools that are individualized to aid in working through the waves of grief.

I utilize play-based and art-based treatments to aid in processing your experiences in a way that allows for a deeper level of communication that words do not always reach. This encourages one's self-expression, continued growth, and exploration to aid in providing meaning and healing to one's experiences.
