About My Clients

Are you a creative person and want to use your creativity to better understand yourself? Have you experienced trauma, oppression, or chronic low self-esteem? In art therapy no artistic skill is needed, you just need an openness to the creative process. I am passionate about helping individuals and families struggling with mood disorders, trauma, and addictions. I have additional interest in those with marginalized identities and working towards empowerment.

My Background and Approach

I am a Board Certified Art Therapist as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I strongly believe in using creativity to begin the journey towards self-reflection and empowerment. The road to healing often begins in finding your voice and expressing your inner self. My approach to therapy is developing safety within our relationship that redefines past unhealthy relationships and trauma. I use creative interventions to process emotions and memories in a safe way. Through art therapy, you will learn ways to reconnect with your body’s signals and increase mindfulness. The creative process itself can be a source of confidence, control, and self-exploration.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in reducing barriers to mental health care for those with marginalized identities. I am holistic in my approach and address systemic influences on identity, relationships, and functioning. I explore all intersections of identity such as but not limited to culture, race, sexuality, gender, age, ability, immigration, and socioeconomic status. I create a safe place for you to express yourself and experience vulnerability in a restorative space.
