I am currently working individually with those who are (predominantly) 15+. I have a strong desire to work with clients who are experiencing the transition between High School and college (or transition into adulthood in general), however I welcome all clients 15+ and want them to feel safe in my space. This includes but is not limited to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. I also enjoy working with clients who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma, but am open to any kind of client who walks into my office! Since I am an art therapist, I absolutely love when clients come in and are passionate about the art making process.
I am passionate about the connections that art can make for clients in session. Art therapy is that "missing puzzle piece" between our implicit (unconscious, emotional, visual, nonverbal) and explicit (cognitive/, meaning making, verbal) parts of the mind. This means that creating art can help make connections that regular talk therapy may not.
I am a therapist who values authenticity and a strong therapeutic rapport. I want clients to feel seen, heard, and understood. A big part of that is showing my clients that I too am a human being who has also struggled with my fair share of mental health. Life can be overwhelming, and the first step to becoming healthier is to start talking about it!

With any diagnosis, it's all about finding our strengths and using them with our diagnoses, rather than against them. Every client is different, so I take interest in what works specifically for each client. Part of therapy is also self discovery in terms of how our past made us who we are today. You can expect to explore this, as well as coping strategies regarding ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc.

I am an art therapist, meaning clients will often create art pieces to help them better explain to me what they are feeling and experiencing. This is great for anyone of any age, gender, etc. due to it being such a flexible type of therapy that can be tailored to each client. I went to Adler Graduate School, where I specifically learned how to conduct art therapy on top of regular talk therapy.
