Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I believe in curating a safe space to explore the way we feel and understand emotions. I have been practicing for 5 years with a wide range of clients, but recently shifted my practice to supporting children and adolescents 0-21.

My approach to therapy

Therapy is a unique experience, where clients deserve individualized approaches based upon their needs. I believe in meeting the client where there at, in a collaborative approach. You tell your own story, I am here to assist in your narration. I am energetic, and believe in the therapeutic effects of laughter and community.

What you can expect from me

I prioritize a warm, affirming, and direct approach in sessions. An environment where vulnerability and safety collaborates to help you to achieve your goals and passions.
