As an art therapist and psychotherapist, I am committed to creating a safe and empowering space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am passionate about using both creative and therapeutic techniques to help you navigate life’s challenges and discover your inner strengths. My approach is grounded in humanistic, solution-focused, dialectical, and person-centered principles. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a cornerstone of the healing process, and I strive to create a creative, judgment-free, and empathetic space where clients feel supported and empowered. As a queer person, my work is rooted in a trauma-informed, social-justice-oriented framework, and I am passionate about advocating for marginalized groups, particularly within the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe that when differences are celebrated, rather than shamed, it fosters connection and validation, allowing individuals to feel seen and understood.

 

In my work, I often draw on the power of creativity and expression. Art therapy, while not required for sessions, can be a powerful tool to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level, process difficult emotions, and find new ways to communicate and understand your feelings. 

​

If you're seeking a compassionate therapist who offers both support and psychoeducation, giving you tools and an affirming space to process, and who is genuinely committed to your personal growth, I would be honored to work with you. Together, we can explore your goals and help you uncover and embrace the strengths already within you. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more about how I can contribute to your healing journey. I look forward to connecting with you.
