About My Clients

Whether you're an artist, musician, writer, or performer, I know that your creative journey is deeply intertwined with your emotional world. In my practice, I aim to provide a space where your creative identity can be explored and supported. Together, we’ll work through the challenges you face—whether they are related to performance anxiety, creative block, personal relationships, or broader life transitions—so that you can thrive both personally and professionally.

My Background

I’m currently completing work towards a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University. Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a K-8 music educator. During this time, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on my students and their families, especially in terms of mental health. These experiences, along with my own creative background, inspired me to pursue a career in counseling. Today, I work with clients who seek help with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, and the unique pressures faced by those in the creative fields.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that an empathic and authentic alliance is the foundation for therapeutic growth and meaningful change. You are the ultimate expert on your lived experiences, and my role is to meet you where you are with respect, honesty, and humility. My approach is strengths-based, anti-racist, and identity-affirming, and I integrate humanistic principles with narrative, existential, and Adlerian practices. This allows us to holistically address your concerns in an environment where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're seeking to overcome emotional obstacles, strengthen your identity, or navigate the complexities of a creative career, I'm here to help you achieve meaningful growth and well-being.
