How are you doing right now? And what do you need? Maybe you know exactly; maybe you need some help to figure that out. Either way, it's OK. And, I really want to acknowledge your courage in seeking support. If you choose to work with me, I offer a compassionate space for you to work through painful memories or relationship issues, to sort through existential dilemmas, to transition through stages of life, and to make meaning out of the tough things you have been through along the way. My aim is to help you heal, AND to cheer you on as you identify your unrealized potential, re-discover your true self, and reclaim your joy.

I provide individual therapy for adults as well as relationship counseling. I am currently offering online appointments with the possibility of meeting outdoors, in-person.

I look forward to connecting with you soon!

I am experienced in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance abuse, and grief, among other conditions, and concerns of the LGBTQIA+ population. I will assist in increasing your awareness and understanding of yourself, and in learning how to improve overall wellness. If you are struggling with personal doubts or questions, relationships, loss, major life transitions, distressing memories, general dissatisfaction, the responsibilities of your position, or are just seeking a compassionate ear, please reach out. My approach is from a person-centered perspective, and I mainly practice an integration of Somatic Experiencing and Gestalt Therapy, though also incorporate CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Expressive Arts Therapy when appropriate.

I work with people in the natural processes of transition and trauma healing as a relational Art therapist. With support, people explore their unique inner landscapes through art therapy: tracking the weather and nurturing the foundation with color and form. I work with people who feel deeply, and those seeking support with voice, grief, mood, and identity. I offer a brave space for LGBT and other marginalized people, and I commit to discussions of privilege.

Art therapy is the blend of creative process and therapeutic support as exploration, growth, and healing for people of all abilities. I use a variety of art materials, your interests, and years of theoretical research. I also draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Sand-tray, and Play Therapy.

I am happy to offer sliding scale at this time. Thank you.
