About me
As a Counselor, Art Therapist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, and EMDR-trained clinician, I am dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. By integrating expressive modalities with proven therapeutic approaches, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can uncover your inner strength, build resilience, and experience authentic healing. I believe that a genuine and transparent therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of meaningful growth, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward wellness and empowerment.
I’m honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. As a licensed professional counselor, registered art therapist, and certified perinatal mental health specialist, I bring a unique blend of expertise and compassion to my work. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate the challenges of trauma, with a special focus on perinatal mental health—supporting individuals during the transformative journey of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
I understand that seeking therapy is a deeply personal and courageous step. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your inner strengths, and find tools to move forward with greater resilience and hope. Whether you're coping with an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or adjusting to the profound changes of parenthood, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy and evidence-based care.
I specialize in working with women on the journey through pregnancy and postpartum, individuals struggling with eating disorders, and those ready to recover from trauma.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing is a collaborative process. Through the integration of traditional therapeutic techniques and creative modalities like art therapy, I aim to meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll uncover the path that feels right for you—one that honors your experiences and empowers you to thrive.
