About

I believe in the power of stories and creative expression to help you connect with your values, make sense of your experiences, and move forward with purpose.
As a creative therapist, I blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, and expressive arts to support your healing and growth.
Together, we’ll explore practical tools and imaginative approaches to build resilience, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful change in your life.
First session
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. I’ll listen closely to your story, goals, and any concerns you have, while answering any questions. Together, we’ll begin to outline a plan tailored to your needs, setting the foundation for your journey toward growth and healing.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I bring creativity and flexibility to our work, tailoring approaches to fit each person’s unique needs and goals. With a compassionate and collaborative style, I help clients build self-awareness, resilience, and connection to themselves through both practical tools and expressive, imaginative methods. I will meet you where you are, and support you in growing through your challenges.
Ideal clients
Are you a creative person seeking a therapy experience that feels fresh and personalized? If your ideal session includes writing, art, or music, you’re in the right place. I offer a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can freely express yourself. I work with a diverse range of clients and provide affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals
Treatment methods
Narrative
My goal as your therapist is to help you tell your story and transform what's not working for you—and create a life that does. I specialize in helping people work through problems and difficult transitions using expressive arts (e.g. music, writing) and other forms of creative communication.
Integrative
I use an integrated approach and don't believe in a one size fits all model. I specialize in using expressive arts in counseling and will work with you to create an individualized plan to support your goals. Bring your creativity, your insight, and your commitment to the table and and we’ll create and work with an individualized plan to support your goals.
Compassion Focused
I use Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to help clients develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves—because love is an inside job. Together, we explore how to soften self-criticism, cultivate self-compassion, and nurture the inner resources needed to meet life’s challenges.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I help people build lives that feel meaningful and authentic through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we work on making space for difficult emotions, stepping out of unhelpful thought patterns, and taking action guided by your values. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical—focused on helping you live with more clarity, presence, and purpose, even when life feels messy.
