I earned my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling/ Art Therapy from Lesley University. I work as a group and individual counselor at a non-profit that supports those living with HIV. I am also a sexual health educator and work with a variety of populations and ages. I am trained in Art Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Somatic Art Therapy, and EMDR.
I dedicate myself to creating a therapeutic safe space for anyone who wants to embark on a healing journey. To this end, I lean into a strength-based, client-centered, trauma-informed philosophy. Conversations, artmaking, and guided experientials are always presented as invitations as I practice active listening and an open and curious mindset towards what the client wants to explore, create, and share.
I will offer an art prompt -perhaps some simple doodling- and an invitation to share about yourself and what brings you to therapy. We will go over policies and procedures and agree on some ground rules for our sessions as well.
