I bring warmth, creativity, and authenticity into my work with clients. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive relationship — and that both words and creative expression can offer powerful paths to growth. I blend traditional talk therapy with art therapy to meet each client where they are. My approach is person-centered and humanistic, grounded in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based practices, self-compassion, and body image work. I integrate wellness strategies, strengths-based interventions, and expressive techniques to help clients deepen self-awareness, process emotions, and move toward meaningful change. I have experience working across levels of care — from inpatient and residential to outpatient settings — with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, disordered eating, and life transitions. I am a proudly LGBTQIA+ and transgender-affirming therapist who is committed to creating inclusive, nonjudgmental spaces where all identities are welcomed, respected, and celebrated.
