I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Yoga Instructor with a certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy. I utilize a strengths-based, client-centered and trauma-informed approach to meet you where you are at on your therapy journey.

I am passionate about healing through the expressive arts and incorporate many elements of this into the therapy process including visual art, music, writing, drama therapy, and movement as well as more traditional therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems. I incorporate somatic approaches including my background as a Certified Yoga Instructor along with mindfulness, visualization, and relaxation. My favorite art medium are collage, visual journaling, and mixed media.

I specialize in using Expressive Arts Therapy and symbolism to help you uncover deeper meaning and new perspectives regarding thoughts, feelings, behaviors and situations. My ideal client may be creative or desire to deepen their creativity and intuition, is open to exploring different art mediums and approaches, and is familiar and comfortable working abstractly, through metaphor, and with the symbolic to explore issues such as stress, trauma & PTSD, anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, gender/identity concerns, grief/loss, and compassion fatigue. In my free time, I enjoy singing and writing music, creating art, fashion and beauty, and traveling to new places. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing what we can create together!
