Some Fun Facts

I love exploring new art media, traveling, and spending quality time with the humans I love.

What working with me is like

As a queer, neurodivergent Art Therapist, I believe in meeting you where you are in your journey and you already have everything you need within you to make the changes you want in your life. My goal is to help you get in touch with your innate wisdom within you, cultivate it towards healing, and create the change you are looking for in your life.

Quote

"No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us." -Marsha P. Johnson

Important about me

Choosing to start therapy takes courage. It's not easy to look within one's self and challenge yourself to change. In our work together, I will support you in your journey toward personal growth, discovery, and change. As an Art Therapist, I believe that engaging in the art process has a powerful way of touching the deepest aspects of one's soul. Through creative approaches in therapy, you can connect authentically with yourself and thrive. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I can help each person use the process to grow.

Art Therapy has long been one of my life’s passions. From a very young age, I have known that art can be used for healing. Art has this way of getting to the deepest part of ourselves and I have seen it transform lives and even communities. In my work, strive to weave an integration of theoretical approaches that work best for you and your needs.
