About

For as long as I can remember, I have used art and creativity as a therapeutic tool. In navigating roadblocks throughout various stages of my life, I have found that art has been a guiding force toward growth and self-acceptance. It is this, along with my interests in psychology, sociology, and interpersonal connection that have led me to become a therapist. I enjoy connecting with those around me in meaningful ways and guiding them through challenging times. I believe that every person, regardless of their identity, possesses the strength and ability to grow into their most authentic self, and that sometimes they simply need a bit of guidance to do so.

I work with people of all ages and walks of life, and I enjoy working with children, adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have experience working with individuals going through transitional periods in life, particularly those belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m passionate about guiding individuals through identity exploration, aiding them in self-discovery and building self-esteem. I have worked with people struggling with anxiety, depression, and who have experienced trauma. I also have a particular interest in working with individuals who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and/or ASD. Regardless of age, gender, or background, I’m dedicated to helping individuals connect with themselves and their communities.

I approach the therapeutic process in a non-judgmental and collaborative manner. My aim is for the client-therapist relationship to be one of mutual respect in which we work together in an effort to achieve your goals. I operate from a strength-based point of view, meaning that I will help you discover and utilize your unique strengths to the best of your ability. I believe strongly that tapping into creativity can be a useful tool in exploring identity and emotions, and that visual art and writing are crucial components to the function of this tool. You do not have to be an artist or have any experience making art to benefit from art therapy, as it is heavily focused on the process rather than the final product. My goal is to meet you where you’re at and provide you with the help you need, so art making is always optional. You know yourself best, and I will follow your lead regarding what you might need during your time in therapy.
