About

As a licensed professional counselor and board-certified art therapist I am sensitive to your needs. I understand that life can be challenging and often difficult to face alone.  I offer warmth, insight, and a nonjudgmental presence that will assist you to reflect and move forward. 

My clinical experience encompasses diverse settings which include acute psychiatric units, outpatient mental health practices, medical, cancer and memory care facilities. I treat adolescents and adults who are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, loss, and trauma

I refer to myself as nontraditional and utilize an eclectic approach that allows for individualized treatment. My sessions can include open dialogue, art therapy, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and mindfulness techniques. Through our therapeutic relationship we will explore your presenting issue(s), root cause and challenges and develop a plan that promotes wellness for you to move forward.  

My compassion towards others evolved from personal life experiences and an appreciation that everyone has a unique story. With the understanding that art is an outlet for self expression and a means to process inward emotions led me to pursue my passions of art and counseling. I hold a bachelors degree in art and psychology and a masters degree in art therapy. Outside my role as a therapist I am a wife, and mother of two children who I adore. I enjoy spending time with my family,  immersing myself in nature,  and exploring my creativity.
