I chose to pursue art therapy as a career because of my firsthand experience as a young person dealing with various mental health struggles. Art therapy was pivotal in my own healing journey, and I am passionate about helping others achieve similar breakthroughs. My focus as a therapist lies in helping creative individuals who are striving to better understand themselves and manage the challenges that come with anxiety, depression, and living inauthentically.

I am committed to working with clients who are navigating the complexities of adolescence and early adulthood. I believe in a multifaceted and integrative method that allows me to create personalized interventions that not only meet your specific needs and goals but foster an empathetic and trusting relationship within a supportive environment. I aim to empower you to take an active role in your treatment through action oriented and insight-focused approaches. Using aspects of CBT we can work together to identify and reframe negative thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression. Guided mediations and other grounding exercises will lead to an improved sense of calm. Evaluation and exploration of your personal values will help you develop a road map for the next steps to take in life. Of course, intertwined with most or all of the psychotherapy philosophies that I practice, the inherent therapeutic element of art making will be utilized to serve as a nonthreatening, nonverbal outlet for emotional expression. I am honored to support you every step of the way. If you are ready to start this journey, feel free to reach out. Let’s work together to create a life where you feel more at peace, empowered, and authentically yourself.
