About My Clients

Ever struggle to feel good enough, no matter how successful your life is? Maybe you keep your thoughts and emotions to yourself so you don't look dramatic or make waves with others. Being self-critical is second nature, but accepting a compliment is near impossible. I GET IT. Self-doubt has a way of stifling expression and twisting the truth, leaving you feeling powerless, unworthy and unimportant.

My Background and Approach

I offer Art Therapy to help creative folx overcome feelings of self-doubt that have been magnified by anxiety or depression. Sessions combine creativity, mindfulness, curiosity, and reflective conversation. My approach can help you understand your emotions, learn healthy tools for self-expression, and gain a sense of mastery and control over your life. As an artist myself, I understand how intense life can feel to creative, sensitive people. I show up grounded and authentic in sessions because I get how important it is to trust your therapist. You deserve a therapist that aligns with your needs, goals, and personality. Let's set up a free call to see if we're a good fit for each other!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we all have everything we need already within ourselves, we just have to figure out how to access it. To me, therapy is the process of learning to listen to your inner world and getting to know the whole you so that you can live with clarity and confidence. I love being able to use creativity as a tool for self-expression and nourishment, and I’ve seen the meaningful change that art making has cultivated, both for myself and for my clients. My role as a therapist is to guide you toward self-understanding. Not to tell you how to live your life.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
