Facing life's challenges can be difficult. It is made easier when accompanied by a therapist who is accepting, supportive and challenges us to face our vulnerabilities with compassion and courage, while making meaningful changes in our lives and relationships. I work with various issues including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, abuse, or trauma. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, relational approach in which you can find strength, confidence, and enduring change.

My work with clients is informed by my creative work as an artist, as well as my ongoing learning of social justice and embodied anti-oppressive therapy practices. I am inspired by a non-hierarchical approach to therapy, which means that the therapy space is a collaborative space. Growth is relational-just like in nature. Therapy is a place in which to experiment, to play, to suffer with support, and to feel the impact of being witnessed as your full self.

Being a teenager is tough. With pressures from school, parents, peers, and social media, it can feel like everyone is judging you. You might think, “I’m not smart enough,” “I’m not attractive enough,” or “Something is wrong with me!” If you feel overwhelmed by expectations and wish you didn’t care what others thought, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there and felt the same way. I help teens like you let go of these expectations and discover who they truly are and who they want to be. If you’re ready to stop trying to be liked by everyone else and start liking yourself so you can be yourself, you’re in the right place!

Children and youth often experience strong emotions (anxiety, sadness, anger, fear) that are the roots of their behavioral challenges, self- and emotion dysregulation, and other adjustment issues. These issues negatively impact their quality of life. Through play and art therapy, I facilitate and witness the unfolding of children's lived experiences. I help them to explore and express their thoughts, emotions and memories that may not be easily expressed using words. Through interacting with their personal symbols in the play or their art, children gain self-acceptance which is the bridge to healing the inner pain and trauma.

Intense emotions flood you, confuse you, anger and sadness invade you, and you are left cut off from the world. Due to this pain, you react, and then you regret it. Your relationship is hurting, conflict doesn't allow you to connect with your partner even if that is what you want the most, it is as if things from the past are catching up to you and not allowing you to be the best version of yourself. You might not have found the tools to face it as a couple or individually. As a therapist, I don’t believe that we are broken and in need of fixing; we are hurt and in need of care. to learn and grow.
