Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by your past or symptoms? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) with over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges.

I’ve supported children, adolescents, and adults across diverse settings—including psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centers, day programs, school environments, and outpatient mental health clinics. I bring a flexible, client-centered approach to therapy, integrating traditional talk therapy with the creative arts and evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness.

My work is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful, transformative tool. It can unlock emotional expression, foster self-discovery, and deepen awareness of our internal world. I specialize in helping clients gently face and accept difficult emotions and thoughts—those prickly, uncomfortable parts of ourselves that often feel impossible to hold. Just like we can hold a cactus carefully, we can learn to hold our discomfort with compassion and without judgment.

Whether you're working through trauma, building self-esteem, or navigating a major life change, I’m here to walk alongside you—supporting your journey toward healing, growth, and renewed self-connection.
