About

I support children and adults of all ages, utilizing creative modalities to foster positive relationships, improve self-esteem, align actions with values, explore identity, and enhance self-expression. I believe that telling our stories is profoundly empowering in personal and relational growth. As a clinician, I strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where clients feel truly heard and are encouraged to take hold of their own unique narratives. My approach includes a great deal of creative, artistic, and experiential exploration... but don’t worry! No artistic experience or ability is needed for this process! In addition to creative modalities, my approach integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and narrative therapy, all through a client-centered, humanistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive lens. This eclectic approach allows me to address the diverse needs of each individual.
