I am a queer, neurodivergent art therapist. I graduated from the School of the Art Institute with a Masters in Art Therapy and Counseling in 2020 and recently acquired LCPC licensure. I have a background working with diverse populations, including experience in both inpatient and outpatient facilities focused on adults with a range of mental health disorders/multiple diagnoses, education spaces with adolescents, and public art-making spaces focused on community wellness.
My interests echo disparities in human connection. Or holding nostalgia. Or the interlocking evolutions of the personal. The therapeutic focus is a person-centered approach with sprinklings of an existential framework–instinctively utilizing art materials to explore limitations, the present moment, closeness, contradiction, grief, intimacy, comfort, and humor (to name a few) to enhance authenticity, identity formation and self-awareness. I follow your grooves while providing empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard to promote acceptance and a trust in your inner wisdom.
In our first session, I will work with you to understand both your short and long-term goals. I will ask you about who you are and what you need from your therapeutic experience. If you’re seeking a thoughtful, creative, and affirming therapeutic space to explore (and honor) the intricate depths, folds, and edges of who you are, I invite you to reach out.
