About me

I am a licensed, board-certified psychodynamic art therapist who works with high-functioning, neurodivergent adults navigating the challenges of masking, high pressure work environments, and feeling out of sync with the world around them. My approach is both trauma-informed and neurodivergence-affirming. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your lived experience is valid and central to the healing process. Together, we can explore emotions, process past experiences, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you.

In our sessions, we may use talk therapy or creative expression depending on your needs and preferences. I blend the depth of psychodynamic therapy with the exploration of creative arts therapy, supporting both insight and transformation. All sessions are offered online, allowing you to access support in a space that feels safe and comfortable for you. If you're ready to feel more at ease in your own skin and build a life that’s more aligned with who you are, I invite you to reach out. Let’s start with a free 15-minute consultation.
