I am an art therapist, mental health counselor, adjunct professor, and fellow traveler on the ascent. I am committed to doing my own inner work while supporting others in doing theirs so that I can operate from a place of curiosity, compassion, and cultural humility. I believe in authentic, creative connection, deep listening, and honest reflection.
I believe that you are enough, just as you are. I believe that people need people and that we weren't meant to navigate this journey alone. By serving as your witness and companion, our process will be one that is holistic and collaborative as we journey inward toward a destination of acceptance, growth, and compassionate understanding. I use a trauma informed approach while providing queer and gender affirming care.
I want to help individuals find where they have power, not just help them adjust to oppression, find their inner voice and feel empowered to use it. My approach is centered around resilience: using the strengths and wisdom within you to rise above the challenges you are facing.

Services
In my work with youth, I seek to provide a space where they feel seen and heard, and can tell their story.
I use art therapy, mindfulness, and play approaches to promote resilience in my younger clients, help them develop a positive self identity, increase self-awareness and self-regulation, build confidence and interpersonal skills, and challenge negative patterns.
I seek to help them understand the emotions, behaviors, and ideas that contribute to their mental health, and manage them in safe and healthy ways.

Consultation calls are always free, and take around 15 minutes.
They're an opportunity for us to chat for a few minutes before you decide to schedule an intake session.
I'll ask you a little about what you're looking for, and you will be able to ask me any questions you might have.
From there, you can take some time to think about it or we can put something on the calendar!
