About My Clients

Are you looking for a creative approach to working with your current struggles? I specialize in using art and creativity in session with my clients. I provide therapy online anywhere in California. I went to Loyola Marymount University and obtained my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2018. I have 6+ years of experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I am a queer therapist and kink friendly. I am also ENM/Polyamory friendly as well!

My Background and Approach

I take a person-centered approach to my work with therapy. I firmly believe that you are the expert of you and I work to meet you where you are. I work collaboratively with my client to develop goals and plans for treatment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy can be a positive and healing space for everyone. I also believe in the healing and transformative power of art.
