About My Clients

If you are tired of talking and feel burnt out by rehashing the same patterns every week, then you've come to the right place! Many of my client express this and feel ready to explore their lives through something more than just talking. I use a somatic and arts-based approach so that you can dive deeper, break free from toxic cycles, & make meaningful change. I specialize in helping those with anxiety, life changes, relationship problems, trauma, cycle breaking, depression, & perinatal issues.

What I Specialize In

I always say- words are clumsy! Oftentimes, they don't feel sufficient enough to capture the full essence of your pain, triumphs, and life experiences. This is why I became an art therapist- because I believe that all parts of you matter and deserve to be expressed. Informed by Somatic Experiencing and Art Therapy, I draw on warmth, creativity, and compassionate curiosity to help you find color and meaning in your life again. Through your journey, I will walk alongside you while you find the courage to honor all the beautiful parts that make you whole, no matter what is on your plate. While Somatic Art Therapy is my specialty, it is not required for us to work together- You set the pace and I will meet you at your level of comfort.

Why I Became a Therapist

If you feel alone in your struggles, therapy can be a powerful resource. As a fellow human, I understand how frustrating and lonely it feels to be trapped in the same cycles day in and day out. Which is why my role in breaking those cycles is to give you a safe space to exhale your truth. I believe that suffering in silence often acts against your healing and keeps you feeling stuck. Let's work together to break your silence so that you can live an emotionally rich, purposeful, and colorful life. My priority as a therapist is for you to feel grounded enough to express your most authentic self so that you can truly blossom.
