About My Clients

I work with emerging adults, creatives, and caregivers who are navigating anxiety, transitions, and questions of identity, purpose, and self-trust. Many of my clients are thoughtful, sensitive people who feel deeply and want therapy that honors both emotional depth and practicality.

My Background and Approach

As an art therapist, I view creativity as a natural part of being human—not something you have to be “good at.” I integrate art therapy, talk therapy, and somatic awareness to help clients slow down, build insight, and reconnect with themselves. I’m especially interested in how environment, relationships, and internal narratives shape our emotional lives. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and paced with care.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe creativity can open doors to self-discovery in a way that words alone often can’t. As an art therapist, I see art-making as a powerful tool for understanding emotions, handling stress, and navigating important life changes. My goal is to offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can safely explore your feelings, relationships, and sense of self. Whether you’re a teen finding your path, a creative professional facing new challenges, or looking to deepen your personal growth, I’m here to guide and support you. In our sessions, I’ll blend creative techniques with talk therapy, helping you build confidence and strong, meaningful connections. By focusing on your unique strengths, I strive to help you step into a life that truly reflects who you are, inside and out.
