Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist working in the field for more than 15 years, I specialize in assisting people to uncover unconventional way to tap into their emotions, improve self awareness, and mindfulness, as these are often keys to improving symptoms and getting back to oneself. I am passionate about helping people who may be experiencing depression or anxiety, grief, or relationship conflicts, and are seeking support to improve their quality of life.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a person centered, strengths based approach. I believe with every challenge there is opportunity to develop resilience. I believe patience and readiness to be critical components of meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

The structure of my sessions varies greatly depending on client preferences. Ultimately, I hope to assist clients in tuning in, processing their emotions, and identifying their strengths, in order to navigate a way forward.
