About me

I started my journey of providing therapeutic support to individuals as a personal goal to help others heal through their own struggles. Incorporating art and psychotherapy have been an integral part to making my career the right fit for me to hold space for others. Individuals have often commented on my adaptability, creativity, and ability to be present in listening and providing a safe space for problem solving.

Providing you therapy in the forms of Art Therapy, EMDR, and verbal counseling while incorporating sensitive humor helps to clear out what your mind, body, and spirit have been holding onto for so long. I look forward to witnessing your journey in discovering a new sense of self!
