My STORY

My journey into the mental health field started with my love of helping others by connecting on a deeply personal level, my curiosity about psychology and the inner workings of the brain, and my natural artistic talents and creativity. Torn between pursuing a career in a helping profession or in art, I discovered I could combine them into one: counseling and art therapy! I’ve done extensive training on using creativity and art-making to help people process their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and traumas through a new lens, in conjunction with the familiar talk therapy to promote healing and recovery. Because sometimes words just aren’t enough!

MY philosophy

I recognize the importance of learning acceptance before committing to change, and I’m willing to sit in the uncomfortable with you in order to build confidence, uncover your personal strengths and skills, and encourage you to explore challenging thoughts and feelings in a constructive way, to learn vulnerability, and investigate how your beliefs and behaviors are connected and influence your overall wellbeing.

I’m interested in first learning about you as a human and how you fit into the world, in order to customize a unique toolbox specifically designed for you and your needs.
