Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the field working primarily in sub-acute settings with varied ages and populations. It has been rewarding and interesting to witness the experiences of people across all ages, many cultures, and to see the evolution of the mental health profession. My journey actually began in art school where I found my art work was all about psychological processes and human development. I studied marital and family therapy in graduate school as part of an art therapy program, writing my thesis on the intersection between art and movement therapy. Through covid, I was honored to facilitate trauma sensitive yoga for veterans for a study with the VA. I continue to be interested and inspired by how we humans navigate our circumstances to optimize our experience of life.
