About My Clients

I provide supportive, strength-based therapy for adults, teens, and older adults managing various mental health challenges. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, holding a culturally inclusive space as my top priority. I hold specialties in working with individuals with depression, anxiety/panic, low self-esteem, complex trauma, racial identity issues, and relationship/social transitions.

My Background and Approach

I practice a multiform approach that integrates the creative process with evidence-based practices, including Art Therapy, CBT, Somatic Therapy, and SFBT to provide high-quality treatment. As a therapist, I facilitate self exploration and emotional integration, utilizing both art and talk therapy depending on your individual needs. Within 1:1 sessions, clients are guided through learning to channel and transform instinctual reactions, freely explore; and identify strengths and spaces of improvement in order to emotionally integrate.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in integrating somatic experience to work through discomfort, process challenges, and create adaptive coping strategies––empowering you to navigate life's complexities with confidence and resilience. I hope our work together provides you with a space to freely explore, grow, and allow the rawness of self narratives to be not just felt, but contribute to your overall healing.
