INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, SUPERVISION
I work with clients using mindfulness and experiential-based forms of psychotherapy to help them transform their lives. My philosophy is based on a firm belief that all of us are moving toward health and healing in the best way we know how. We want to live our lives more fully but often blocks are preventing us from doing so. With a non-pathologizing approach, I help clients understand how coping strategies, although brilliant at conception, can become less helpful and outdated once we move into different environments. We can become stuck in patterns of behavior that don’t match what our lives look like in the present. Through Somatic Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, and dreamwork I work with our unexpressed parts in order to voice and incorporate those parts into our most authentic whole selves.

THERAPY, ART THERAPY, CHILD AND ADOLESCENT THERAPY
"I am committed to creating a culturally sensitive safe space where clients can explore emotions, gain insights, and discover their authentic voices of expression. Although artmaking is not mandatory, as an art therapist, my mission is to share art as a tool for healing, self-exploration, and self-affirmation. Through this process, I encourage the inner muse while helping clients utilize the inner critic in a productive and manageable manner."
