I am an art therapist who enjoys working with adults in navigating various life transitions. My hope as your therapist is to support you in navigating the complexities of change, finding yourself amidst the change, and finding your passions, motivators, and areas of personal growth. As a board certified art therapist I believe in the power of creative expression as a guide in the therapeutic process, which I use in addition to traditional talk therapy. As your therapist it is my hope that we will be able to walk through things together and help transform your life in a way that empowers you.
Therapy is a wonderful resource in getting to know yourself on a deeper level. In participating in art therapy, it allows for us to approach different ways of knowing ourselves, rather than only through verbal processing. Please feel free to check out my website for more information about my practice, and art therapy!
Please feel free to reach out and schedule a free 30 minute consultation to discuss what is bringing you to therapy, and if we may be the right fit for each other. I believe in the concept of interviewing therapists - it is important that you find the right fit so that your therapeutic journey is the best possible.

I use art therapy as my main method of practice. As a Board Certified Art Therapist, I believe in the power of creativity as a catalyst for personal change. Through creativity we are challenged to problem solve, think in different ways, and to focus on process - all inherently therapeutic tasks! Through art therapy, your process in therapy will be an integration of both art and talk.
