About Me

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck - like you’re carrying the weight of your past or struggling to feel truly seen in your present. Maybe you’ve always felt like the “black sheep” in your family, are navigating complicated relationships, or are simply tired of managing everything on your own. If you’re a parent of a child or teen, you might be noticing big emotions, growing worries, or challenges at home or school, and want a safe, supportive space for them to work through it all. You’re looking for support that’s both grounding and empowering - someone who will really get you and help you reconnect with your own strength, insight, and creativity.

As an art therapist, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t always start with words. Sometimes we need images, movement, or simply presence to access what we’re feeling inside. I bring a deep respect for the many ways we express ourselves, especially when emotions are hard to put into words, and create space for that expression to unfold at your own pace. I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, trauma recovery, and family estrangement. I’m especially passionate about supporting those who want to reclaim their power, break free from intergenerational cycles, and rewrite the stories they’ve inherited.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, CA, where I deepened my understanding of the healing power of creative expression in therapy. My approach is person-centered, meaning I view each client as the expert of their own experience. I believe healing happens within a safe, trusting relationship, and I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and understood. I’m warm, intuitive, and collaborative, with a touch of humor to help navigate life’s challenges. My work is informed by somatic and trauma-focused modalities, and I’m currently pursuing certification as a Certified Somatic Therapy Foundations Practitioner. I’m also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and a Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional.

Whether through art, movement, or traditional talk therapy, my goal is to help you process your experiences, build self-trust, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
