About My Clients

My focuses include working with adolescents, young adults, and adults to address concerns like anxiety, depression, life transition, body image, and disordered eating. If you feel ready to take the first steps in healing, let's connect.

My Background and Approach

As a board-certified art therapist, I incorporate traditional counseling techniques and/or creative modalities depending on your needs and preferences. I am passionate about art making and helping individuals use creativity to connect with themselves. I have experience working with individuals ranging from 14-75 years old with a variety of concerns. I have worked at a specialized treatment center for individuals struggling with eating disorders and body image concerns. I have also had the opportunity to work within a substance use program to aid those struggling with addiction. I take a client-centered approach and meet you where you're at. I like to bring an eclectic style to the sessions so we can mix and match which techniques are best for you!
