It matters that you are here! Whether you're seeking counseling or therapy for yourself, your child, adolescent, or teen, or your whole family, reaching out can be the first brushstroke of a deeper journey toward understanding, healing, and change. As an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist and Art Therapist in training (ATR-P), I offer a space where creativity and therapeutic presence meet. No matter your age, when words feel out of reach, art and play therapy can provide additional, nonverbal forms of expression that can illuminate our thoughts and feelings in unexpected ways and lead to profound healing, connection, and growth.
As a client-centered, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I provide adult, child, teen, and family therapy to help people of all ages explore their inner worlds through image and language, discover the patterns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped who they are, and move towards greater understanding and self-worth.
Whether you or your child is struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, or some form of trauma, I'm here to help you use the healing power of art and therapy to open new paths toward authenticity, wholeness, and positive, lasting transformation. I encourage you to reach out today with any questions and I look forward to connecting!

Although I practice from a client-centered, psychodynamic approach, I also incorporate object relations and art therapy into my work with adults, children, and teens. But more than focusing on any one theory, I am active, relational, and collaborative, and use whatever therapeutic techniques are most helpful for my clients in the moment, from psychoanalysis to somatic to play therapy.
