Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Art Therapist and I am passionate about empowering people to be confident, motivated and to create a life of purpose. I created my practice to help others as they are navigating grief & loss, depression, trauma and/or anxiety to find their path, and begin the healing.

My approach to therapy

I incorporate nature, art, movement, coping skills and mindfulness exercises into sessions so my clients can gain insight and increase awareness of mind and body connection to reduce feelings of anxiety and feel more at ease, calm, present and empowered.

What you can expect from me

After the first session my clients often tell me how relieved and at ease they feel. I provide a non judgmental and safe space for clients to share challenges and I provide clarity about next steps. I work collaboratively with my clients to determine what they want to change and develop goals to work towards that change. My clients leave sessions with increased insight and awareness and practical skills and tools they can take home and practice.
