My Background and Approach
I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Art Therapy from Loyola Marymount University, and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and Gender and Sexuality Studies from Tulane University. Outside of having extensive psychotherapy experience providing holistic trauma-informed care to many individuals, couples and families, I am a professor and artist. As an expressive art therapist, I often integrate creative modalities into my work whether it be traditional art-making or somatic work. I take a holistic and integrative approach, incorporating psychodynamic, relational, narrative and humanistic modalities. I work from a place of deep compassion, groundedness, humor and connection, aiming to tailor my approach to the unique and sacred individuality of each client. My goal is always to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel genuinely seen, valued, and empowered. I also find it essential to leave room for levity and candor!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a highly sensitive teenager who struggled with anxiety and depression, finding both therapy and art made a profound impact on how I saw, operated, and engaged with the world. Since then, my passion for spreading and sharing growth and healing has only increased. In all of my work, I strive to bring kindness, creativity, curiosity, and cultural humility. My goal is always to create a space where you can be you. To me, a client-centered approach is rooted in the belief that my clients are the experts in their own lives. I am here to walk alongside you, but you will lead the way! I truly cherish our time together and believe it is an immense honor and privilege to accompany you on this journey.
