This is one of my focuses, as many clients are navigating the emotional weight of gendered expectations. Whether that is caretaking, burnout, perfectionism, body image pressures, and identity shifts across life stages. I’m passionate about supporting clients in setting boundaries, reconnecting with their needs and voice, and working through anxiety, self-worth, and relational patterns in a way that’s both compassionate and practical.

I am a LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist, as I am part of this community as well. I’m committed to providing a space where clients don’t have to educate their therapist or brace for assumptions, and where we can explore identity, stress, family dynamics, relationships, and resilience through a lens that is trauma-informed and affirming.

Chronic pain and illness is a specialty I hold close to my heart. Living with ongoing symptoms affects far more than the body. It can affect our identities, relationships, work, and self-trust just to name a few. I have experience both personally and professionally working with chronic pain and illness, and have found a love of helping others process grief, reduce shame, and build coping skills that honor ourselves while making room for meaning, creativity, and agency.

With narrative therapy and art therapy, I encourage clients to use art to make the “story” visible and editable. Externalizing the problem, exploring meaning without shame, and building a preferred identity through symbols and images. It can help clients feel less fused with the problem and more connected to choice, values, and resilience.

I use art-making to help DBT skills actually land. So the pillars of mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation become something clients can practice in a concrete, body-based way (not just talk about). The artwork also creates visual anchors clients can return to between sessions.

This my main modality as a Board Certified Art Therapist. Making art gives us a direct, body-based way to access what’s hard to name, whether that's an emotion, memory, identity, or desire. art therapy supports insight and regulation. Together we can externalize what you’re carrying, work with symbols and images, and build a felt sense of safety and agency through the creative process (no “artistic skill” required).

Women's issues is another one of my specialties, because many clients are navigating the emotional weight of gendered expectations. Whether that's caretaking, burnout, perfectionism, body image pressures, and identity shifts across life stages. I’m passionate about supporting clients in setting boundaries, reconnecting with their needs and voice, and working through anxiety, self-worth, and relational patterns in a way that’s both compassionate and practical.

Chronic illness/pain is a specialty I hold close to my heart. I specialize here because living with ongoing symptoms affects far more than the body—it can reshape identity, relationships, work, and self-trust. I’m especially drawn to helping clients process grief and frustration, reduce shame, and build sustainable coping tools that honor real limitations while making room for meaning, creativity, and agency.
