Great to meet you!

I've always enjoyed being creative and spending time with others. With a background starting in fine art (oil painting), I found being creative very healing. That is when I decided to pursue MFT and Art Therapy for my MA. Becoming an LMFT has been rewarding and life changing. I help my clients grow by helping others understand themselves, their relationship with others and how they view the world. With this gained knowledge and insight, we will explore new ways to interacting and perceive.
