Healing begins with deep, empathetic listening

Where your voice, your culture and your story are honored without judgment-healing starts when you’re truly seen.

This is a space where art, identity, and emotion come together

Here, therapy is more than talk-it’s a creatively connected space with a focus on becoming.

This work is for those carrying unspoken stories and generational pain

Together, we hold what’s heavy and make room for transformation, one layer at a time.

  • I believe healing happens through connection—with yourself, with others, and with your story. My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in empathy. I look at the whole person—your experiences, relationships, culture, and creativity—to help guide our work together.

  • My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, grounded in empathy, respect, and curiosity. I work to understand each individual within the context of their relationships, culture, and environment. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel heard, seen, and supported.

Whether we’re exploring early attachment patterns, cultural identity, or nervous system regulation, our work is guided by your pace and inner wisdom — not a fixed protocol.

  • I approach complex trauma with deep patience, presence, and care. We focus on building safety first- in your body, in the relationship, and in your internal world. Through a combination of somatic awareness, art-making, and gentle exploration, we work at a pace that honors your boundaries while tending to the parts of you that are ready to heal.

  • Absolutely. Art therapy isn’t about making “good” art — it’s about giving form to feelings, sensations, or memories that can be hard to express in words. Many clients who don’t see themselves as creative find deep relief and insight through the process. It’s a tool we use together in ways that feel natural and supportive to you.

  • Art therapy is a mental health practice that uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or photography to help individuals express their thoughts and emotions. It can support healing, explore emotions, process trauma,self-awareness, and personal growth, especially when words are hard to find.

  • Yes, art therapy can work through telehealth. Clients can create art at home and share it with their therapist during online sessions, allowing for meaningful connection, expression, and support even from a distance.

  • No, you don’t need any artistic skills. Art therapy is about expression, not making “good” art. It’s a tool to explore your thoughts and feelings, not a test of talent.

  • We may talk about your artwork if it helps you reflect or express something important, but there’s no pressure to analyze it deeply. The art portion can take as little or as much time as you need—some sessions may involve more art, others less.

  • Warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. Many say they feel truly seen and heard in our sessions. I’m often described as empathetic, intuitive, creative, and someone who can hold space for both vulnerability and growth. Clients appreciate that I bring genuine care, a calming presence, and a thoughtful balance of gentle encouragement and grounded support.

  • Understand themselves in a deeper way, express emotions more freely, and feel more grounded in their identity and choices. Many share that they’ve gained tools to manage anxiety, navigate life transitions, and connect more meaningfully with others. For some, therapy has helped them rediscover creativity and self-expression, while for others it’s been about learning how to set boundaries or cope with grief and trauma in a healthier way.

  • That I make them feel safe, supported, and accepted without judgment. Clients often say they appreciate my ability to listen deeply and reflect their experiences back in a way that feels validating and insightful. I’m told that my use of art therapy adds a unique and healing dimension to our work—especially for those who’ve struggled to find words for what they’re feeling. Many also mention that our sessions feel collaborative, empowering, and truly personal to their needs.

  • with a lifelong love of creativity and a desire to deeply understand others. Through art, travel, and connecting across cultures, I saw how healing can happen through expression and empathy. These experiences led me to blend psychology and the arts into a therapeutic approach that supports clients in meaningful, personal ways.

  • the integration of creativity, cultural awareness, and a deeply person-centered lens. I combine clinical techniques with art therapy to help clients express what words often can’t, while honoring each individual’s unique story, background, and way of healing.

  • create a space where you feel safe to explore, express, and grow. We’ll work at your pace to understand your experiences, build coping tools, and use creativity and conversation to support healing, clarity, and meaningful change. Whether through art, talk, or mindfulness, we’ll find what works best for you—and celebrate progress, no matter how small.
