My Ideal Client

I am here to support people who feel lost in their grief, long to heal their hearts from developmental trauma, or crave a reconnection with their artist self. Sometimes suffering becomes a vortex, and we can get stuck inside it. It can feel like there is no way forward except to isolate and turn inward. Creativity offers a gentle way to turn outward, so we can begin rebuilding soulful connection with ourselves, others, and the world.

How I Can Help You

I offer a warm, creative, and gentle environment where you can uncover your true nature, relieve suffering, and build health and connection. Whether you are experiencing grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, or disordered eating, the core of my practice lies in building a supportive relationship where healing can take root.

My Approach to Helping

What is art therapy? Art therapy is not about making “good” art or having artistic skill. It is about using the creative process—image, color, movement, metaphor—as another language to explore personal experience. Art gives form to things that are difficult, or even impossible, to say out loud. Many teens and adults have spent years in therapy only to find that words alone don’t reach the places that need tending. They may gain insight yet struggle to translate that awareness into meaningful change. Art therapy supports the integration of insight on a somatic and creative level, so that change doesn’t just make sense intellectually—it becomes embodied. We know that people learn best through play. Art therapy is serious play: intentional, relational, and designed to support deep internal reworking.
