As a Registered Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, I am dedicated to helping clients reach their personal goals. I believe mental health and wellbeing should be accessible and can be achieved through a supportive, understanding relationship between client and therapist. I earned my Master of Art in Art Therapy and Counseling from Saint Mary of the Woods College. Starting therapy isn’t always easy, so I want to acknowledge your strength and congratulate you on taking this first step toward healing.

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s tailored to you. By working together as partners, we can build trust, create shared goals, and develop a plan to help you reach them. While I value art as a powerful tool for healing, I also incorporate other approaches to best support your unique needs.

Clients can expect a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. As a client-centered and solution-focused therapist, I prioritize clients' immediate needs and significant stressors, addressing them first before transitioning to other predetermined treatment goals in session.
