About My Clients

I work with kids, teens, young adults, and adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not quite like themselves. My clients often come to me while navigating trauma, grief, life transitions, relationships, or self-esteem. You or your child may have a hard time putting feelings into words or need something a little different from traditional talk therapy. You don’t have to have it all figured out—we can start wherever you are.

My Background and Approach

I bring nearly 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults through anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, art therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, with advanced training in counseling psychology, art therapy, and expressive arts. My approach is warm, person-centered, trauma-informed, and influenced by psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives. That means we can work not only with what’s happening right now, but also explore patterns, past experiences, relationships, and the deeper parts of your story that may be shaping how you feel today. I also incorporate art therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and other creative approaches when they’re helpful. Therapy with me isn’t about following a formula—it’s about finding an approach that fits you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe there is no single “right” way to heal, grow, or move through life. I value compassion, curiosity, creativity, and creating space for people to be fully themselves without judgment. I believe our experiences shape us, but they don’t have to define us. I’m also a big believer in leaving room for the unexpected—the moments of insight, connection, and even creativity that can emerge when we give ourselves permission to slow down and listen to what’s happening beneath the surface. To me, therapy isn’t about becoming a different person; it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and finding a way forward that feels authentically yours.
