I have always believed that each of us has the capacity to heal, grow, and create a life that feels meaningful and authentic. My work is rooted in a genuine appreciation for the uniqueness of every individual and the belief that we are so much more than our struggles, our circumstances, or our past.

Treatment Approach
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) A trauma-focused therapy that uses eye movements and imagery to help the brain reframe distressing memories. It often leads to quicker relief from symptoms compared to traditional talk therapy.
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dance / Movement Therapy Uses movement and body awareness to express emotions and improve mental health. It can increase confidence, reduce stress, and support healing.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Hypnotherapy Uses guided relaxation and focus to access the subconscious mind. It is often used for habits, anxiety, and pain management.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Music Therapy Uses music listening, songwriting, or rhythm exercises to support healing. It is effective for stress, emotional expression, and cognitive challenges.
- Psychodrama A group therapy that uses role-play and dramatization to process emotions. It helps clients gain perspective and release tension.
Approach Description: My approach is warm, interactive, compassionate, and client-centered. I believe that meaningful change happens through a collaborative process where you feel heard, respected, and accepted for who you are. I draw from traditional therapeutic approaches, expressive arts therapies, mindfulness, breathwork, guided imagery, and other creative techniques, tailoring our work to your individual needs and goals. As an artist and art therapist, I especially appreciate how creativity can open doors to self-discovery and provide new ways to explore and express experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal, grow, and create a life that feels meaningful and authentic. Sometimes life experiences, difficult relationships, loss, or unexpected challenges can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, uncertain of our direction, or unable to recognize our own strengths. My passion is helping people rediscover those strengths, reconnect with who they are, and explore the possibilities for creating a more fulfilling life.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Registered Art Therapist, and Certified Transformational Life Coach, I bring over 35 years of experience in the field of personal development. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, supporting them through emotional challenges, significant life transitions, and opportunities for personal transformation.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction and recovery, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem concerns, and other life difficulties. I have a special interest in grief and bereavement, pregnancy and infant loss, women's wellness, caregiver stress, and helping people navigate the many transitions life brings. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQ+ clients.
In addition to psychotherapy and art therapy, I offer transformational life coaching for those who are ready to explore new possibilities, overcome limiting beliefs, clarify their goals, and create meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you are working through the past, navigating the present, or envisioning a different future, I enjoy helping people recognize their potential and take steps toward a life that feels more purposeful and fulfilling.
I offer both in-person and telehealth services, including individual and group experiences.
One of the beliefs closest to my heart is that we are enough, just as we are. We don't have to be perfect, have everything figured out, or allow our past to define our future. I believe there is always room for healing, self-discovery, laughter, new beginnings, and growth. My hope is to provide a supportive space where you can explore, learn, heal, and reconnect with the person you want to be.
You deserve to feel understood, valued, and empowered to create a life that reflects who you truly are.
