Great to meet you!

What's standing in the way of you finding your best path? I believe you have everything you need to reach your full potential, sometimes it’s just hard knowing where to start. Let me help you sort though everything and get back on track. People seek counseling for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reason that brings you through the door, I commit to walking with you throughout the healing process to achieve inner growth and peace. I believe that therapy should be individualized for each client.

My approach to therapy

Mental health involves treating the whole person: Mind, Body and Spirit. I use a holistic approach that incorporates mindfulness, art and self-expression into my practice. Art Therapy is a mental health profession rooted in the belief that the creative process is healing. In session, art is utilized help facilitate the process of growth and change.

What you can expect from me

I am driven in this work to connect with my clients to achieve the best results. Please feel free to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we might be a good therapeutic fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
